Question

I need help on number 17 and please explain how you got the answer:))

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

note that 8.2% =
`(8.2)/(100)`

To calculate 8.2% of 35

Multiply 35 by 8.2 and divide by 100, that is

8.2% of 35

=
`(35(8.2))/(100)` =
`(287)/(100)` = 2.87 → B

Answer 2

Computing 8.2% of a number simply means to multiply that number by the fraction 8.2/100. So, we have

`(8.2)/(100)\cdot 35 = (8.2\cdot 35)/(100)=(287)/(100)=2.87`
