How To Find Out Percentage On Dollar Amount?

what is 15% of $9.10

4x1%=

A percentage can be converted to a fraction or decimal. A dollar amount is just a decimal number with a unit (dollars) attached to it. You figure the operation on decimal numbers in the usual way. Then attach the unit as required. Examples   40% of $15   40% of $15 = $(0.40*15) = $6.00    $15 with 40% taken off   $15 - 40% of $15 = $15*(1 - 0.40) = $15*0.60 = $(15*0.60) = $9.00   (Of course, you can use the result of the first example to compute   $15 - 40% of $15 = $15 - $6 = $9    What percentage of $15 is $3?   $3/$15*100% = (3/15)*100% = (300/15)% = 20%  Often, you want to figure 15% or 20% of a number using mental arithmetic. Remember that 10% = 1/10, and that dividing by 10 is just a shift of the decimal point. 10% of $15.00, for example, is $1.50. Now, if you want 20%, you just double this number. 20% of $15.00 = (2)*($1.50) = $3.00.  On the other hand, if you want 15%, you can cut the 10% value in half to get 5%, then add that.   15% of $15.00   = 10%*$15.00 + (1/2)*10%*$15.00   = $1.50 + ($1.50)/2   = $1.50 + $0.75   = $2.25
