Answer 1

Answer: 157.5

"Of" means to multiply. When multiplying percentages by whole numbers, the percentage becomes smaller. The commonly asked question in scenarios just like this is, "what is x% of y?" where x is the percentage and y is your number you want a percentage out of. This question requires you to use multiplication, because it uses the word, "of".

`\bold{Step-by-step}`

`\mathrm{`
`\mathrm{is}`
`\mathrm{x\%}`
`\mathrm{of}`
`\mathrm{y?`

`P = (x\% * y)\\P = (75\% * 210)\\p = 75\% = 0.75\\P = (0.75 * 210)\\P = 157.5`
