what is 24% of 36

24% of 36

I think of it like this.

% is just a rearrangment of 100 and the / (sideways 1) tells you that it is divide.

so 24% means 24/100

'of'  always means multiply

so this problems becomes

24/100*36

$${\frac{{\mathtt{24}}}{{\mathtt{100}}}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{36}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{216}}}{{\mathtt{25}}}} = {\mathtt{8.64}}$$

As  i always say....to find the percent of anything we will follow the following steps....

24%/100% x 36

=

reducing or cutting that will give you your answer......can u do it or shall i do it?
