Question

What number is 53% of 470

Answer 1

The word "of" is the same thing as a multiplication sign!

So instead see it this way:

53% × 470

To solve this, you can use the cross product method :

`(53)/(100)` =
`(?)/(470)`

(470 × 63) ÷ 100 = ?

29 610 ÷ 100 = ?

296.1 = ?

53% of 470 is 296.1

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
