Question

What number is is 96.3% of 121?

Answer 1

See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore 96.3% can be written as `96.3/100`.

When dealing with percents the word "of" means "times" or "to multiply".

Finally, lets call the number we are looking for "n".

Putting this altogether we can write this equation and solve for `n` while keeping the equation balanced:

`n = 96.3/100 xx 121`

`n = 11652.3/100`

`n = 116.523`

Answer 2

96.3% of 121 is 116.523

Explanation:

1) `96.3/"100"`X`121/"1"`
Shift the decimal point of the 96.3 one place to the right, in order to make this number a whole number.

whatever you do to the numerator you must do to the denominator

Hence, you must shift the decimal point after the hundred to the right making it a thousand

2) `963/"1000"`X`121/"1"`

You then multiply

3) `116523/"1000"`

Finally divide to give the answer

Answer=116.523
