Group of answer choices

Answer 1

Answer- $1100


An easy way of finding a percentage of any number is simply moving the decimal one to the left.

Ex. 22000 =2200.0

You move it one to the left you will be given 10% of the number. If you move it one more to the left you will be given 1% of the number.

Ex. 2200.0 = 220.00

Since you only need to find 5% you can just divide the 10% in half and you can find 5% of 22000.
