Question

What is an easy method to workout 35% of 70

Answer 1

Explanation:

`70 * (35)/(100) = 24 .5`

Answer 2

24.5

Explanation:

35% can be broken down into 10% + 10% + 10% + 5%

To find 10% of 70, divide 70 by 10.

To divide a number by 10, move the decimal point 1 place to the left.

⇒ 70 ÷ 10 = 7

So 10% = 7

5% is half of 10%

⇒ 5% = 7 ÷ 2 = 3.5

Therefore,

10% + 10% + 10% + 5% = 7 + 7 + 7 + 3.5

= 21 + 3.5

= 24.5
