Question

What is 137% of 720? Round to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

x x100=137%
720

divide both sides by 100
x =1.37
720

multiply both sides by 720
x= 986.4

Answer 2

-- 137% means 1.37.
-- "of" means "times".

1.37 x 720 = exactly 986.4 .

The next greater hundredth is 986.41 .
The next smaller hundredth is 986.39 .
Neither of those is nearer to 986.4 than 986.4 already is,
so no rounding is necessary..
