Answer 3

Here is a little tip...." of " in math problems means multiply.

10% of 97 = 10% x 97
Do you know how to turn a percent into a decimal ? If not, I am going to show you....
50% = .5
25% = .25
what I did was take the percent and move it over 2 spaces to the left and turn it into a decimal. It is that easy.
2.27% = .0227 (however, when you have a decimal in the percent, you start from the decimal and go two spaces to the left.

Anyway, back to the problem...
10% x 97 -- turn the percent into a decimal
.10 x 97 = 9.7

Do you understand ?
