To find out 77 percent of something, just multiply that something to 0.77.
Five percent is five percent. But five percent of 200 is 10.
Multiply it by 0.03
First, find the number, which I'll call x. Since 5% of x is 16, .05x=16. Divide both sides by .05 to find that x=320. Now to find twenty-five percent of that, just multiply by .25. 25% of the number is 80. You could also do it by multiplying 16 by five, since 25% is five times 5%.
To find 7 percent of something, multiply that something to the decimal equivalent of 7% which is 0.07. Example: What is 7% of 100? 7% of 100 = 7% * 100 = 0.07 * 100 = 7
