When you multiply a number by a percentage, you first convert the percent into a decimal.

You do this by moving the decimal point two places to the left and making the decimal point into % sign.

15% = 0.15

Then you multiply the decimal by the number you want to find the percentage of.

So, the answer to this question is A. multiple the number by 0.15
