Answer 4

Remember that a percentage is nothing but a number divided by 100. In this case you have 8.75%. This means that you simply divide the 8.75 by 100 and this should give you 0.0875. Then multiply 144 times 0.0875 and you will get 12.60. It may be important to also remember that the word "of" means multiplication...
