ANSWER:

$21.25

Explanation:

We can calculate 8 1/2% of $ 250 by multiplying the percentage value by the total value of the money.

The first thing is to convert 8 1/2 into a decimal number, just like this


\begin{gathered} 8(1)/(2)=8.5 \\ \text{now,} \\ (8.5)/(100)\cdot250=21.25 \end{gathered}

Therefore $21.25 is 8 1/2% of $250
