Hi. To find the percent of a number you need to convert the percent to a decimal by moving it two spaces to the left and dropping the percent sign:

3% becomes 0.03

now we simply multiply .03 and 27 which gives us 0.81

now we convert 0.81 back to a percent by moving the decimal two places to the right, so our final answer is 81%

3 tons is 81% of 27 tons.

I hope this helps. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Take care,
Diana
