WHEN YOU ARE DEALING WITH PERCENTAGES YOU ARE DEALING WITH DECIMALS AND 100THS. FOR EXAMPLE : 75% OF 25. IN THIS PROBLEM WE MOVE THE DECIMAL PLACE TWO PLACES TO THE LEFT IN YOUR PERCENTAGE. SO, YOU HAVE 0.75 X 25, WHICH EQUALS 18.75. REMEMBER TO ALWAYS MOVE YOUR DECIMAL POINT TO PLACES TO THE LEFT (OF THE % YOU ARE FINDING) THEN MULTIPLY BY YOUR NUMBER. I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU OUT SOME!? IN YOUR PROBLEMS YOU HAVE , THEY WILL LOOK LIKE THIS : 2.943 X 81 AND ALSO, 0.00006 X 13,712. ANY MORE QUESTIONS, JUST E MAIL ME. cats7051@yahoo.com YOUR MATH FRIEND, TERRY
