Question

What is 60% of 90? *

Answer 1

54

Explanation:

You can use the short cut 0.6 * 90 ( * is another symbol for the multiplication symbol) this works differently for different numbers. If your percent is one digit, like 3%, you want to change it into the decimal 0.03. The reason why you multiply them together is because “of” is another word for multiply in math terminology.
