How do you work out what 35% of 250 is

Answer 1

what I do is what is 1% of 250?, 2.5, right? so what is 2.5x35? 87.5 would be your answer. or you could do .35(percentage before multiplying by 100)x250, either way works.

Answer 2

'of' is multiplication.

35% is a percentage, and percentages are parts of 100, so divide 35 by 100.


`\sf35/100=0.35`

So we have:


`\sf0.35*250`

Multiply:


`\sf87.5`
