Which set of statements shows the correct steps to find 70 percent of 82? Write 70 percent as 7 ´ 1 percent. Write 1 percent as StartFraction 1 Over 100 EndFraction. Then, find StartFraction 1 Over 100 EndFraction of 82: 82 times StartFraction 1 Over 100 EndFraction = StartFraction 82 Over 100 EndFraction = 0.82. Multiply 0.82 by 7 to get 5.74. So, 70 percent of 82 is 5.74. Write 70 percent as StartFraction 1 Over 7 EndFraction. Then, find StartFraction 1 Over 7 EndFraction of 82: 82 times StartFraction 1 Over 7 EndFraction = StartFraction 82 Over 7 EndFraction = 11.71. So, 70 percent of 82 is 11.71. Write 70 percent as 7 ´ 10 percent. Write 10 percent as StartFraction 1 Over 10 EndFraction. Then, find StartFraction 1 Over 10 EndFraction of 82: 82 times StartFraction 1 Over 10 EndFraction = StartFraction 82 Over 10 EndFraction = 8.2. Multiply 8.2 by 7 to get 57.4. So, 70 percent of 82 is 57.4. Write 70 percent as StartFraction 1 Over 70 EndFraction. Then, find StartFraction 1 Over 70 EndFraction of 82: 82 times StartFraction 1 Over 70 EndFraction = StartFraction 82 Over 70 EndFraction = 1.17. So, 70 percent of 82 is 1.17.

Answer:

(C)

Explanation:

To find 70 percent of 82

Write 70 percent as 7*10 percent.

Write 10 percent as
(10)/(100)= (1)/(10).

Then, find
(1)/(10)$ of 82


82 X(1)/(10)=8.2

Multiply 8.2 by 7: 8.2 X 7 =57.4

Therefore, 70 percent of 82 is 57.4.

The steps in Option C are the correct steps.
