Question

How do I do 75% of 200

Answer 1

150

Explanation:

divide the percentage by 100 to make it decimal form,
75/100= .75

The multiple .75 by the total amount to find the 75%,

200 x .75 = 150

Which means 75% of 200 is 150

Answer 2

You can use the part=percent(whole) method, which would produce X=75%(200), which is X=0.75(200), which is 150. 75% is 0.75 because 75% is really 75/100, which is 0.75. You can also use the proportion method, which is (percent)/100=(part)/whole. This would be 75/100=X/200. When cross multiplying and solving for X, you would once again get 150.
