Question

Wat is 17% of 84 ?

Answer 1

You need to change your percentage to a decimal and then multiply.  Of means to multiply.  So, 84 x .17 =14.28

Answer 2

if you were in real school you would know how to do this.

Answer 3

Here is the English-to-math translation of this problem:

"what" is the variable (the thing you don't know) and can be shown with the letter X, Y, Z, P, M, or any other letter you want.

"is" is the same as an equal sign

"17%" needs to be changed to the decimal 0.17

"of" is like saying "multiply"

"84" is just 84

So here's how you work this:

Z = 0.17 x 84

Now you can solve it (and all the others like it)!

Answer 4

17% is the same as .17

So, .17 times 84= 14.28

Answer 5

14.28 you just multiply them

84 x 17%=14.28

another example

29% of 96

96 x 29%=27.84
