Answer 8

7.2% = 72/1000

multiply the percentage by the number and that's the percentage (kinda like 100% of anything, is the whole thing - 100% = 100/100) *I just multiplied the 7.2% by ten so it's easier to work with*

but you'd take 72/1000 and multiply it with 878,360

and the number is read *properly*

Sixty-Three-Thousand and Two-Hundred Forty-One and Ninety-Two Hundredths
