please help idk the answer.

2. Find 72% of 850.

Answer 1

Answer for #2.

72% is also equivalent to 72/100.

First, divide 72 by 100. (the fraction sign sometimes means divide)

Now multiply the outcome of this by 850.

72/100 = 0.72

0.72 x 850 = 612

612 is the answer! :D

Answer 2

divide 2315.5 by 58 and that should be your answer. 39.92 or round it off to 40 inches.

2.850 x .72 and you get 595

Answer 3

1. 39.88.... inches

2. 612
