#$5.349#

So simple.

Just use a 3 rule:

If #8.99% " equals " 100%#

#$? " is " 60%#

#(60xx8.99)/100=$5.349#

#5.39#

Write a calculation in maths the same as you say it:

Find #60% " of " 8.99#

#= 60/100 xx 8.99#

#=5.394#

But as this is a money question, we round to decimal places for the cents:

#=$5.39#
