Question

What is 80% of 960? Round to the nearest hundredth (if necessary).

Answer 1

768

Explanation:

When you have problems like these which is very common, you first change the percentage to a decimal.

80% is the same as 0.80 or 0.8.

Next, you multiply.

0.8 x 960

Your result is your answer.

0.8 x 960 = 768

Also helpful tip; if the problem says something like adding 80% of 960 to itself, then you would add 768 to 960.

Hope it helps!
