Question

How to solve this...

What is 48% of 120% of 60%...?

Answer 1

Let's pretend they're not all percentages. Let's turn them all into decimals. Then if we want to find 120% of something we just multiply it by 1.2 right? It doesn't matter that .6 is a percentage, we are simply finding 120% of whatever it is.

Then we do a same kind of thing again to finish it.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 4

Yes this is correct so far. You should see that the order doesn't matter because multiplication is commutative.

Answer 5

multiplication is associative, so order shouldn't matter

Answer 6

err associative is what I meant to say lol.

Answer 7
