8% o f 300 = 100 8 ∗ 300 = = 8 ∗ 3 = 24
We can do this in 2 different ways.
The longer but often more clear way is to divide 300 by 100 to get 1% then multiply that by 8. 8 ( 100 300 ) = 24 -- therefore 8% of 300 is 24.
Alternatively we can just multiply 300 by 0.08 300 ∗ 0.08 = 24
To calculate 8% of 300, convert 8% to a decimal (0.08) and multiply it by 300, resulting in 24. Therefore, 8% of 300 is 24.
