Answer:

A) 14.08

Explanation:

The way I like to think of percentage problems is by a question to help me set up the equation.

"What is 64% of 22?"

"What" = x (what we're looking for)

"is" = equals

"of" = multiply

So "What is 64% of 22?" means x = 64% * 22

First, convert the % to a decimal by moving the decimal point two spaces to the left (divide by 100).

x= 0.64 * 22

Then it's just multiplication. x= 14.08
