or...
turn your percent into a decimal....245% = 2.45
" of " means multiply

so..
2.45(24.2) = your answer

Oh that makes more sense

Answer 17

How will I know when to divide and when to multiply?

Answer 18

well...in math word problems, " of " means multiply

there is also another way to do percent problems by using the percent formula
percent formula : is/of = %/100

now look at your problem..
245% of 24.2 is what number..

% = 245
" of " = 24.2
" is " = a number we will call x
now just sub

x/24.2 = 245/100 -- since this is a proportion, we now cross multiply
100x = (24.2)(245)
100x = 5929 -- divide by 100
x = 5929/100
x = 59.29 <== your answer
