can you please explain this problem to me. 
I more or less have and idea but I can't 
come up with the answer. thanks 
what number is 27% of 9.14

Change 27% to a decimal by moving the 
invisible decimal two places left and 
deleting the "%".  So 27% becomes .27.

Now since "of" means "times", we multiply
9.14 times .27

  9.14
   .27
  6398
1 8280
2.4678
