\begin{array}c \cline{1-1} \textit{\textit{\LARGE a}\% of \textit{\LARGE b}}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{\textit{\LARGE a}}{100} \right)\cdot \textit{\LARGE b} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{6\% of 535}}{\left( \cfrac{6}{100} \right)535}\implies 32.10~\hfill \underset{ \textit{total amount} }{\stackrel{ 535~~ + ~~32.10 }{\text{\LARGE 567.10}}}
