Given the number:
56
Determine its 4%
Solution:
In order to find 4% of 56 we simply needed to 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.
= 4/100
= 0.04
Next we need to multiply 0.04 by 56.
= (0.04)(56)
= 2.24
Final answer:
4% of 56 is 2.24.
