Question

What is 62% of 250?

Answer 1

`155`

Look at the explanation below.

Explanation:

The word "of" pretty much means to multiply. In order to multiply we want to turn `62%` to a decimal.

`62% 0.62`

in decimal form. With that knowledge, we can take

`0.62 xx 500`

and that should give you `155`. If you are ever given a problem like this just turn the percentage into a decimal and multiply it by the whole number. So for this problem, I would take `62/100` (which is `62%` in fraction form) and that would give me `0.62`.
