What is ten percent of 2291.03?

Answer 1

The answer is 229.103 X = whatever number you start with. Finding 10% of X is the same thing as solving X times 0.10 In a written problem, "of" means "multiplied by". To explain the conversion from percent to decimal... Multiplying by "one" is the same as multiplying by "one hundred percent", for example. 100% = 1.00 25% = 0.25 10% = 0.10 1% = 0.01 So, X times 10% = X times 0.10 Lastly, when you multiply X by 0.10, just move the decimal point in X over one spot to the left.
