Question

What is the formula for finding these??

1. 30 % of 90

2. 70 is 10 % of what?

3. 4/10 of 30

4. change 2/8 to a percent

Please help me with these formulas! Thanks!

Answer 1

The word "of" means multiply.

Change the percent to a decimal.

30% * 90 = 0.3 * 90 = 27

0.1 x = 70
x = 70/0.1 = 700

I'll be glad to check your answers for the other problems.

Answer 2

so.. 3. 4/10 of 30=

4/10 x 30/1=12

and 4. 2/8 to % would be 8 into 2 which equals .25= 25 %

Answer 3

Both are right! :-)
