1. kirbykirby Group Title

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

2. Alli474 Group Title

yeah I can not remember how to do this

3. kirbykirby Group Title

90*14... then divide by 100

4. sat_chen Group Title

do 90 *.14

5. TimSmit Group Title

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 Group Title

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

7. sat_chen Group Title

so it will be 12.6 for the answer

19. TimSmit Group Title

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