2000 * 0.07 = ?

Answered by Rebecca
How do you know when to divide and when to multiply?
Answered by Ms. Sue
You can tell by estimating your answer. You know that 10 percent of 2,000 is 200. Your percentage is less than 200.

2000/0.07 = 28,571.43

2000 * 0.07 = 140

You want to know what 7% of 2000 is. "Of" always means to multiply.
