What is 5% of $183.52?

Question

I am planning on buying a DS Lite, a game for it and an action replay (special cheats thingy) and i need to know the exact total so i can have the exact amount of money it ill take right there with me. So far i have $177

Answer 1

You can find the percentage of anything by moving the decimal point on the percent back 2 spaces and multiplying it by the cost.

5.0% goes to .05% after you move the decimal point over.

Then you multiply 183.52 by .05.

183.52

x      .05

-------------------

$9.1760

5% of $183.52 is $9.17.

I am guessing that the 5% is the tax, so to find out the total, you add 183.52 to 9.17, and that is $192.69.

So, you will need $192.69 to pay for your DS and the accessories, which means you need to save $15.69 more to buy it. Good luck!
