Question

Find 10 ½% of 60

Answer 1

10.5% = 0.105

.105*60 = 6.3

Answer 2

just remember that 'percent' means "for each 100"

so 10.5% = 10.5/100

and 10.5% of 60 = \(\dfrac{10.5}{100}*60 = 6.3\)

Answer 3

" of " in math problems means multiply
So, 10 1/2% of 60 means 10 1/2% x 60
By the way, lets turn 10 1/2% to 10.5%. Now we need to turn this into a decimal. This can be done by moving the decimal two spaces to the left. If it didn't already have a decimal, you would move it two spaces to the left of the percent sign. So, 10.5% = .105
Now the problem reads : 0.105 x 60 = 6.3
check....
6.3 = x% of 60
6.3 = 60x%
6.3/60 = x%
.105 = x%
10.5 %= x (correct)
