Answer 1

To find percentages, multiply the number by the decimal equivalent of the percent. To find what percent one number is of another number, divide the first number by the second number and multiply by 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. a. To find 27% of 52, multiply 52 by 0.27.
   27% * 52 = 0.27 * 52 = 14.04
2. b. To find 41% of 48, multiply 48 by 0.41.
   41% * 48 = 0.41 * 48 = 19.68
3. c. To find what percent of 88 is 33, divide 33 by 88 and multiply by 100.
   (33/88) * 100 = 37.5%
4. d. To find what percent 8 is of 18, divide 8 by 18 and multiply by 100.
   (8/18) * 100 = 44.4%
5. e. To find 33% of 360, multiply 360 by 0.33.
   33% * 360 = 0.33 * 360 = 118.8
6. f. To find 62% of 58, multiply 58 by 0.62.
   62% * 58 = 0.62 * 58 = 35.96
