    ::数字的百分率

    Part of the usefulness of percent is being able to find percentages of a number.

    The key words here are “of a number” this means that you multiply to solve the problem. You can convert the percent to a decimal and multiply or convert it to a fraction and multiply.
    ::这里的关键词是“ 数字中的” , 这意味着您会乘以解决问题。 您可以将百分比转换为小数点, 然后乘以, 或者将其转换为分数和倍数 。

    Let’s suppose that you invited 58 people to the barbecue. If 30% prefer chicken, then you need to know how many people that is.
    ::假设你邀请了58人参加烧烤。 如果30%的人更喜欢鸡肉,那么你就需要知道有多少人。

    First, convert 30% to either a decimal or a fraction.
    ::首先,将30%转换为小数点或分数。

    30 % = 30 100 or 30 % = 0.30 30 % = 3 10

    ::30300030 3030 310

    Next, use the decimal or the fraction to multiply by the number of people you invited.
    ::接下来,使用小数点或分数乘以您邀请的人数。

    3 10 × 58 = 174 10 or 0.3 × 58 = 17.4 3 10 × 58 = 17.4

    ::310x58=17.4

    The answer is 17.4.
    ::答案是17.4。

    15 % = 0.15

    Then, multiply the number of people by the decimal.
    ::然后,将人数乘以小数点。

    0.15 × 500 = 75

    The answer is 75.
    ::答案是75
