How To Find Out Percentage On Dollar Amount?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Convert the percentage to a decimal and multiply by the dollar amount.
    Example
      20% of $4.50
      = 0.20*$4.50    (convert the % to decimal by moving the decimal point left 2 places, drop the %)
      = $0.9000    (20*450 = 9000. There are 2+2=4 decimal digits.)
      = $0.90    (we only keep 2 decimal digits for dollar amounts)
    0 0
