leila1234567:

Do you want a explanation video about percents?

Maxine:

Maxine:

I am so confused with the problem....XD

KieraBennett:

I think it might be one dollar maybe ill double check though

Maxine:

That did not help ':)

Maxine:

ok thx

leila1234567:

hm....I do remember that you subtract your discount

KieraBennett:

ok cool

Maxine:

do you times the percent by the actual number?

KieraBennett:

idk wait a sec...

KieraBennett:

i dont think so...

AngeI:

Ok so a super easy way to do percent is to divide the price by 100 then multiple by the number of percent I know you're not on the first one currently, but 70/100 and then multiple by 35 in order to get the amount that is being subtracted which would be $24.50 $70-$24.50

AngeI:

Give me a moment and I'll explain your second question if you'd like

Maxine:

So Like If I say "What is 42% of 75?" would I times the 42% by 75??? ':D

AngeI:

For that you would do 75/100 and then multiple by 42 getting 31.50 75-31.50

Maxine:

ok, so I was correct???

Maxine:

Select the correct answer. What is 42% of 75? A. 315 B. 105 C. 31.5 D. 10.5

Maxine:

is it C???

AngeI:

For future references please keep each post limited to one question, but yes it is c for that one

Maxine:

oh sorry and ok

AngeI:

No problem c:
