Say you want to find 20% of $63.00
the percent sign means divide by 100 see it even has a / for divided and two zeros to remind you.
of always means multiply.
so
20% of $63
means
20/100*63
$${\frac{{\mathtt{20}}}{{\mathtt{100}}}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{63}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{63}}}{{\mathtt{5}}}} = {\mathtt{12.6}}$$
And the answer is $12.60
