Question

find each percentage of 75. explain your reasoning. what is 10% of 75

Answer 1

Answer:

To get the answer we need to convert those percentage into decimal form and multiply it by 75.

In transforming percentage to decimal the percentage sign will be a decimal point which will be going to jump 2 times to the left thus 10% will become .10 or 0.10 or .1 or 0.1, 1% will become .01 or 0.01,0.1% is still need to be converted so .001 or 0.001 and 0.5% will become .005 or 0.005.

0.10 \times 75 = 7.50.10×75=7.5

0.1 \times 75 = 0.750.1×75=0.75

0.01 \times 75 = 0.0750.01×75=0.075

0.05 \times 75 = 0.3750.05×75=0.375

Answer 2

Given:

find each percentage of 75. explain your reasoning.

To Find:

what is 10% of 75

Solution:

A percentage is a real number or a ratio that is expressed in the fraction of 100, a percentage is denoted by '%', for example, if 20% is a percentage then in the fraction it is expressed as 20/100 or 0.2, we find percentage by the following value,

$\%age=\frac{Part}{Total parts} *100$

Now to find each percentage of 75 we will just take a value from 0 to 75 and find the percentage as,

$=\frac{15}{75} *100\\=20\%$

So, 10% of 75 will be equal to,

$=10\%*75\\=\frac{10}{100} *75\\=7.5$

Hence, 10% of 75 is 7.5.
