Convert 35% to a decimal
------------------------
It is useful to recall what " per cent " or
it's symbol % mean:
It means " per one hundred "
---------------------------
So, just divide +35+ by +100+,
and the have the decimal equivilant
--------------------------------
+35%2F100+=+.35+
Now multiply this times +136+
+.35%2A136+=+47.6+
