QUESTION

What is 45% of 36 feet?

ANSWER AND EXPLANATION

To find the percent of a number, you have to change the percent into a decimal or a fraction and multiply by the number.

DECIMAL

To change a percent into a decimal, remove the percent sign and move the decimal point 2 places to the left.

`45 \% \rightarrow 0.45`

Now that you have your decimal, multiply by 36:

`0.45 * 36 = 16.2`

ANSWER = 16.2 feet

FRACTION

To change a percent into a fraction, make the percent number as the numerator(top number) and 100 as the denominator(bottom number) since fractions are out of 100.

`45 \% \rightarrow (45)/(100)`

Now that you have your fraction, multiply by 36:

`(45)/(100) * 36 = (1620)/(100) \rightarrow 16.2`

ANSWER = 16.2 feet
