@michaeljordan don't repost. Please work with me to get the answer. I'm not just going to give you the answer.

2. freckles

So again $\%=\frac{1}{100}$ So we have $\frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{100} \times 75$ Which can be written as $\frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{75}{100}$ What does 75/100 reduce to?

3. michaelJordan

.75

4. freckles

Ok yes you can write 75/100 as .75 and you can also right 3/4 as .75 since 75/100 reduces to 3/4 which means 75/100=3/4 so we need to find the product of .75 and .75

6. Hero

Freckles, what is 3/4 percent equal to?

7. freckles

So first we will multiply 75 by 5

8. freckles

$\frac{3}{4} \%=\frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{100}$

9. freckles

That was for hero

25. freckles

Now the things in the black circle we need to multiply those

26. freckles

you already said the product of 7 and 5 is 35 so we have |dw:1336265808112:dw|

27. freckles

So the last of the multiplication is the 7*7 part

28. freckles

which is 49 correct?

29. freckles

but don't forget to add that 3 you carried 49+3=52 so we have....

When you are done adding how many times do you thing you will need to drag the decimal over?

33. freckles

|dw:1336265936682:dw|

34. freckles

So after you find the sum of those 375 and 5250 you will need to drag decimal over 4 times

36. freckles

37. michaelJordan

that;s not a choice o;

38. freckles

yep it is are you sure you added right?

39. freckles

5+0=5 7+5=12 3+2=5 0+5=5 so we have |dw:1336266192396:dw|
