Question

What is 28% of 175?????????????????????

Answer 1

49

Explanation:

My favorite way to multiply percentages is as fractions:

28% =
`(28)/(100)`

175 can be thought of as
`(175)/(1)`

So then we just multiply across:

`(28)/(100)` ×
`(175)/(1)` =
`(4900)/(100)`

And then you just divide the remaining fraction:

4900/100 = 49

Answer 2

49

Explanation:

A percent is something out of 100.

So in this case....

`28 percent =(28)/(100)`

Or we can also write this as 0.28

Since you are asking about 28% of 175, you multiply 0.28 with 175.

The final equation is...

0.28×175

`=49`
