Exercise 47 Page 425

Start with calculating 80 percent of 42.

B

Practice makes perfect
First, let's calculate 80 percent of 42. In order to do that, we multiply 0.8, the decimal form of 80 %, by 42.

0.8* 42=33.6 Now we need to find what percent of 16 the number 33.6 is. Note, 33.6 is greater than 16. Since 16 is 100 % of 16, then 33.6 will be more than 100 % of 16. Dividing 33.6 by 16, we can find how much 33.6 is greater than 16. 33.6/16=2.1 The percent form of 2.1 is 210 %. Therefore, 33.6 is 210 % of 16. The answer is B.
