Question 780396: What is 142% of 740? i need it detailed
Answer by wilft1(217) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
remember your multiplication, when you multiply something by 1, you get the original number, like 50 x 1 = 50
if you want to add a percent to it, it will be along the lines of 1.2 for 120% or 1.57 for 157%,
so your going to multiply 740 by 1.42 = 1050.8
the same thing works in the opposite as well, if you want to find 70 percent of 234, just multiply 234 by .70
