+118609 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
$${\frac{{\mathtt{24}}}{{\mathtt{100}}}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{36}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{216}}}{{\mathtt{25}}}} = {\mathtt{8.64}}$$
+11912 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?
