e. 62%

please answer and explain

0.18 * 0.8 = ?

14.4

answer A

thank you

You're welcome.

To find the percent of nitrogen in SHURGRO fertilizer, we need to determine how much of the ammonia in the fertilizer is nitrogen.

From the given information, we know that 80% of the ammonia contains nitrogen.

To calculate the percent of nitrogen in the fertilizer, we multiply the percent of ammonia containing nitrogen (80%) by the percent of ammonia in the fertilizer (18%):

Percent of nitrogen = 80% × 18% = 14.4%

Therefore, the correct answer is (a) 14.4%.

Explanation: The percentage of nitrogen in the fertilizer is found by multiplying the percentage of ammonia containing nitrogen (80%) by the percentage of ammonia in the fertilizer (18%). This calculation gives us the percentage of nitrogen in the fertilizer, which is 14.4%.
