Answer:

for calculator steps

Explanation:

-Find out what 1% of the whole amount (B) is - to do this you divide it by 100.

-Once you know the value of 1% you can multiply this amount by the number of percent you want to find.

-If you want to find 10% of 50 you divide 50 by 100.

-From this you know that 1% of 50 is 0.5

-So to find 10% you just multiply 0.5 by 10

-0.5 x 10 = 5

-10% of 50 = 5
