please calculate:
6% + 1.2 * 8%
I already answered this.

but you put multiplication in the front instead of addition...
Oops! I'm sorry.
0.08 * 1.2 = 0.096
0.096 + 0.06 = 0.156
To calculate 6% of a number, you need to multiply that number by 0.06 (which is the decimal representation of 6%). Similarly, to calculate 8% of a number, you need to multiply that number by 0.08 (which is the decimal representation of 8%).
Let's break down the calculation step by step:
Step 1: Calculate 6% of a number:
6% = 0.06
Multiply this by the number you want to find 6% of.
Step 2: Calculate 1.2 times 8% of a number:
1.2 * 8% = 1.2 * 0.08
Multiply this by the number you want to find 8% of.
Step 3: Add the results from Step 1 and Step 2:
(6% of a number) + (1.2 times 8% of a number) = (0.06 * number) + (1.2 * 0.08 * number)
Now, substitute the value of the number you want to calculate into the equation and evaluate it.
