You can put this solution on YOUR website!
WHEN YOU FIGURE OUT PERCENT, YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER TO USE DECIMALS. FOR EXAMPLE : 44% IS 0.44, AND 29% IS 0.29, AND 87.5% IS 0.875, AND SO ON. SO, IN YOUR PROBLEM YOU ARE FINDING 66% OF 45. YOUR EQUATION WOULD LOOK LIKE THIS : 0.66 x 45 . WHEN YOU MULTIPLY THIS OUT YOU GET AN ANSWER OF 29.7 ------>>>>> AND REMEMBER "OF" IN A WORD PROBLEM MEANS TO MULTIPLY!!!!
