Question

what is 82% of 950? submit

Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

To find a percentage of a number, we first convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100. So, \( 82\% = \frac{82}{100} = 0.82 \).

Step2: Multiply the decimal by the number

Now, we multiply this decimal by 950. So, \( 0.82\times950 \).
Calculating \( 0.82\times950 \):
\[

$$\begin{align*} 0.82\times950&=(0.8 + 0.02)\times950\\ &=0.8\times950+0.02\times950\\ &=760 + 19\\ &= 779 \end{align*}$$

\]

Answer:

779
