can you explain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you multiply 881 by how much you want for the percentage which is 286 but as a decimal so divide by 100 (or move decimal 2 places to the left) giving you 2.86. 881x2.86 = 2519.66

yup basically. any time you want a percent of something and you have the percent you multiply. however, thiscan vary depending on the context of the quesiton you ma need to do 1-ur % givn. but in this case you just multiply your answer by 2.86 or 286% :)
