Question

“Find 24% of $240.”

I keep trying and getting a different answer each time, please help

Answer 1

$240 is the 100%
X Is the 24%
So (24x240)/100
5760/100 = $57.60
Or you can just do 240x0.24=$57.60
24% is the same as 0.24
And 100% is the same as 1

Answer 2

$57.60

Explanation:

The first thing you want to do is convert 24% to a decimal. To do this you just need to take the current decimal place and move it 2 places to the left. Since this percentage is a whole number the decimal is just after the 4.

(0.24)

Multiply that decimal by the number you want to find the percentage of

$240 * .24 = $57.60
