Given the number:
55
Determine its 80%.
Solution.
In order to determine the percentage of the number, we simply change the percentage first 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.
= 80/100
= 0.8
Now we need to multiply .8 by 55.
= (0.8)(55)
= 44
Final answer:
80% of 55 is 44.
