Question

Find 15.4% of 360°. (Round your answer to the nearest whole degree.)

Answer 1

We need to find 15.4% of 360º.

Notice that:

`15.4\%=(15.4)/(100)=(154)/(1000)`

Also, 15.4% of 360º corresponds to the product:

`15.4\%\cdot360\degree`

Thus, we have:

`15.4\%\text{ of }360\degree=(154)/(1000)\cdot360\degree=(154\cdot360)/(1000)=(154\cdot36)/(100)=(5544)/(100)=55.44\degree`

Since 0.44 < 0.50, rounding to the nearest whole degree, we obtain:

Answer

55º
