Answer provided by our tutors
To determine the percent of a number do the following steps:
Multiply the number by the percent (e.g. 240 * 216 = 51840)
Divide the answer by 100 (Move decimal point two places to the left) (e.g.
51840/100 = 5.184)
Round to the desired precision (e.g. 5.184 rounded to the nearest whole
number = 5 )
