$500 * 6%=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

convert the percentage into decimal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Romero And how would I do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6%=6.% carry the decimal point two times to the left and get rid of the percentage sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it'd be .06*500? @Romero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright,thanks! :}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plug it into a calculator and you are done

OpenStudy (anonymous):
