Given:
2000 km
Determine how far is 10% of the trip.
Solution:
In order to determine how far is 10% of the trip, we simply multiply 2000 by the decimal value of 10%. Thus, we must convert first the percentage to decimal. In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.
= 10/100
= 0.1
= (0.1)(2000 km)
= 200 km
Final answer:
10% of the trip is 200 km.
