Question 2640
20% is 20 "per cent" which is 20 "out of 100" ie 20/100.


so, what is 20/100 of 7.49?


of means?...multiply. To see this, consider easier examples like what is 1/2 of 50...answer is 25 (from common sense) and that is 1/2 * 50...


so, 20/100 * 7.49 = $1.498...ie $1.50 off.


Hope this helps
