Answer:

15.05 is your answer.

Explanation:

To find our answer we will first divide 8.75 by 100 since it is a percentage. 8.75 ÷ 100 = 0.0875

Now we will take 0.0875 and multiply it by 172 and we get 15.05. Therefore, 15.05 is our answer

Hey there!

8.75% of 172

The word “of” means multiply in mathematical terms.

8.75% * 172

8.75% = 8.75/100 = 0.0875

0.0875 * 172

= 301/20

= 15.05

Answer: 301/20 OR 15.05

(BOTH ANSWERS WORK because they are both equivalent)

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
