For this priblem you'll have to find 7,5% of 110. To find the equivalent amount to the given percentage of a number, you multiply the percentage by the number, and then divide that amount by 100:

7,5 * 110 / 100 =

825 / 100 =

$8,25


Hope it helped,

First, convert percent into a decimal: 7.5% = 7.5/100 = .075

Then multiply: $110 x .075 = $8.25

Answer: $8.25
