Given:

Determine 140% of 56.

Solution:

In order to determine 140% of 56, we simply must multiply 56 to the decimal value of 140%. This means that we need to change first the percentage into decimal. In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.

= 140/100

= 1.4

= (1.4)(56)

= 78.4
