what operation do I use to find 14% of $798.?

Question

I can't remember how to find %ages, like the one in the question I asked.  What is 26% of $798.00?  or what is 15%, 14% and so on.  I am trying to figure out profits.

Answer 1

14% of 798 = (14/100) x 798 = 111.72

26% of 798 = (26/100) x 798 = 207.48

 

etc.     to find percentages just divide the percentage that you want to find by 100, and then multiply that number by the value (sum of money, in this case) that you want to find the percentage of.
