## Alli474 2 years ago is this right 14% of 90 90/14=6 6*100 your answer is 600

1. kirbykirby

Is the question simply asking to find 14% of 90? Because 600 isn't

2. Alli474

yeah I can not remember how to do this

3. kirbykirby

90*14... then divide by 100

4. sat_chen

do 90 *.14

5. TimSmit

Percent means per 100, so 100% of a value is the value itself. One percent is the value times 1/100, so 14% is the value times 14/100.

6. kirbykirby

$\frac{14}{100}*90=\frac{14*90}{100}$

7. sat_chen

so it will be 12.6 for the answer

8. JayDS

14 % of 90 0.14 x 90 = ...... 0.14/100 x 90 = .....

9. Alli474

1260

10. JayDS

nope, try again.

11. sat_chen

12.6

12. kirbykirby

not 0.14/100... it would be 14/100 @JayDS :)

13. JayDS

14. Alli474

15. JayDS

16. JayDS

14 % of 90 0.14 x 90 = ...... 14/100 x 90 = .....

17. kirbykirby

yes that is correct, now divide by 100! (Just move the decimal two places towards the left).|dw:1359155463603:dw|

18. Alli474

1.26

19. TimSmit

100% of 90 = 90 10% of 90 = 9 1% of 90 = 0.9 14% of 90 = 1*9 + 4*0.9 = 12.6

20. sat_chen

type this in your calculator bro (14/100 ) * 90 or .14*90

21. Alli474

oopse that's what I meant 1.26

22. Alli474

24. kirbykirby

25. JayDS

be careful when entering the values in ur calculator, I think u may have some trouble with that.

26. JayDS

or even moving the decimal place how many places to the left(for division) or the right for(times), u need to make sure u do it correctly.
