Question 780396
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
