Glory inherited 10% of her fathers $40,000 estate. How much was her share?
One way you can do this is:
10%=10/100
%2810%2F100%29%2A%2840000%29
%2810%2F%281%2Across%2800%29%29%29%2A%28400%2Across%2800%29%29
%2810%29%2A%28400%29
$4,000
Another way is to turn the percentage into a decimal and multiply it time $40,000
10%=10/100=.10
.10*$40,000=$4,000
Pick a way you understand.
Happy Calculating!!!
