Question

How do you simplify 23.55 x 2.8%?

Answer 1

23.55 x 2.8% = 0.6594

Explanation:

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore 2.8% can be written as `2.8/100`.

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 = 23.55 xx 2.8/100`

`n = 65.94/100`

`n = 0.6594`
