Question

Hey what’s 72% of 350? Sorry math hurts my brain.

Answer 1

252

Explanation:

No problem! This problem can be written as

72% × 350

"of" means multiplied by

72% can be rewritten as 0.72

The final problem can be

0.72 × 350 which equals 252

Extra tip!

If a problem is difficult such as 8% of 25 there is an easier way! 25% would be much easier to solve so you can switch the numbers and it becomes

25% × 8

That problem is much easier to solve and the answer is 2 no matter which way you do it. This could have been done with 72% of 350 but 350% of 72 is not much easier.

Answer 2

Answer: 252

Explanation:

Write 72% as

72/100

Since, finding the fraction of a number is same as multiplying the fraction with the number, we have

72/100 of 350 =

72/100 × 350

Therefore, the answer is 252

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 72÷100×350 which will give you 252 as the answer.
