Question

Multiply 23%0D%0A2%0D%0A3%0D%0A by 114%0D%0A1%0D%0A1%0D%0A4%0D%0A. Write the answer in simplest form.(1 point)

Answer 1

To multiply the percentages, we first convert them to decimal form.

23% can be expressed as:

\[
23\% = \frac{23}{100} = 0.23
\]

114% can be expressed as:

\[
114\% = \frac{114}{100} = 1.14
\]

Now, we will multiply these two decimal values together:

\[
0.23 \times 1.14
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
0.23 \times 1.14 = 0.2622
\]

To express \(0.2622\) as a percentage, we multiply by 100:

\[
0.2622 \times 100 = 26.22\%
\]

Thus, the final answer in simplified percentage form is:

\[
\boxed{26.22\%}
\]
