Question

Find the percent of the number 45% of 18. And tell how you figured it?

Answer 1

45/100 * 18 = 8.1.

Answer 2

8.1

Answer 3

"of" always stands for multiplication

As I had explained earlier, 45% = 45/100

Move the decimal two places to the left in 45 to get .45

Now your expression of
45% of 18
stands as:
.45 x 18

And Solve.
