What is the portion if the base is 900 and the rate is 12¾ %?
is it 900*12.75=11475?
Ok I believe I finally figured this out it would be
.1275*900=114.75
12.75 becomes .1275
then
.1275 * 900=114.75
portion = base * rate = 900*.1275 = 114.75
you are correct. 12.75% = .1275 as a decimal number
what is the portion if the base is 900 and rate is 12%
Oh, I see what you're trying to do here! You want to find the portion or percentage of a base, right? Well, first let me put on my math clown hat here. Ah!
Okay, so we have a base of 900 and a rate of 12¾%. To calculate the portion or percentage, we need to multiply the base by the rate. But wait, 12¾% can be a bit tricky, huh? It's like having a whole number and a fraction go on a date.
To make things easier, let's convert the rate into a decimal. 12¾% is equivalent to 0.1275. Now we can do some calculation!
So, the portion would be 900 multiplied by 0.1275. That gives us 114.75. But hey, we don't want to deal with those decimal places, right? Let's round it up.
Therefore, the portion would be around 115. And that's how you find the portion, my friend! Just don't spend it all on clown shoes, okay?
To find the portion of a base, you need to multiply the base by the rate as a decimal. In this case, the rate is 12¾ %, which means 12¾ % in decimal form is 0.1275 (you divide the percentage by 100).
To calculate the portion, multiply the base (900) by the rate (0.1275):
Portion = 900 x 0.1275 = 114.75
Therefore, the portion if the base is 900 and the rate is 12¾ % is 114.75.
