To find the percent of anything, you change the percent to a decimal, and multiply. Finding the percent of a sum is no different. ex: 10% of (30 + 100) I can use the distributive property to take 10% of 30, then add 10% of 100. .10(30 + 100) = .10*30 + .10*100 = 3 + 10 = 13 In order to see how this works, let's not distribute. .10(30+100) and instead, add 30 +100 first, then take the percent. .10(130) = 13 We get the same answer! You can take the percent of the whole thing, or you can take the percent of the pieces that add up to the whole.
To find 30 percent of a number, multiply the number by 0.3. In this instance, 0.3 x 185.00 = 55.5. If the number refers to a unit of currency, don't forget to add the appropriate unit and add an extra trailing zero.
30%
"Percent" = "of 100". So 30 is 30% of 100.
18 percent of 30 is 5.4
