Question

What is 35% of 600?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

"Percent" or "%" means "per 100" or "out of 100". Therefore, 35% can be written as `35/100`.,

When dealing with percentages like this "of" means to multiply.

Let's call the number we are looking for `n`.

Putting this all together and solving for `n` gives:

`n = 35/100 xx 600`

`n = 21000/100`

`n = 210`

`color(red)(210)` is 35% of 600.
