What of 98 percent of 260?

Answer 1

ok well you divide 260 by 100 (percent) and that equals 2.6, so 1% is 2.6, so multiply 2.6 by 98 that equals 254.8 , so 98% of 260 = 24.8

you could of taken a further shortcut as the % you want is close to 100 >>>>> 1% - 2.6 so 5.2 = 2%, ...... 2% off of 260 = 254.8
