Answer 4

well i think just the estimate i dont think i need the solution:)

Answer 5

ok......25% of 100......here is a little tip..."of" in math problems means multiply.
so we now have 25% x 100. Turn the percent into a decimal by either changing the percent sign to a decimal and moving it over two spaces to the left or another way is dividing 25 by 100, either way will give you .25. So now the problem is .25 x 100 = 25. so 25% of 100 = 25.
Do you understand ?

Answer 6

that is just the estimate

Answer 7

Answer 8

ok so you would multiply 24% by 97?

Answer 9

i had to read it twice haha:D

Answer 10

yes...24% x 97...but you would have to turn the percent into a decimal, making it .24 x 97 which equals 23.28. That is the exact answer not the estimate.
