Answer:

34.4

Explanation:

10% is the same thing as 0.1 so 344 times 0.1 is 34.4

A percent (%) is equal to 1/100 (We actually don't call that 'per''cent' for no reason)

So 10% is actually 10 times % which is:


10\% \\ 10((1)/(100)) \\ (10)/(100) \\ (1)/(10)

If you get a calculator and calculate 1/10 the calculator should give 0.1

You might be taught that to get the decimal form from percent you just move the decimal point to the left twice (like 34% -----> .34) but if you do this, you are essentially dividing by 100 or multiplying by 1/100

now you know 10% is 0.1 the next thing to do is multiply it to 344.


344((1)/(10)) \\ (344)/(10) \\ 34.4
