33 1/3 % of 1208.20

[Wondergirl]

Change the percent to a decimal and then solve by mutiplying.

[letmethink]

I think the answer is

=(33 /(1/3)) % 1208.20

=(33*3) % 1208.20

= 99% 1208.20

=99*12.0820=1196.118





I guess it's the answer

=(33 /(1/3)) % 1208.20

=(33*3) % 1208.20

= 99% 1208.20

=99*12.0820=1196.118

I don't think that's the answer... I know you were trying to help but just so you know, we don't give homework answers here. We can help them figure it out but not do the work for them.


As WG said... convert 33 1/3% into decimal form and then multiply it.

But still I believe ,am right.
Yeah I know there are a lot of others better than me who could solve this.
If you get the correct answer post it here,so I will know too. Just curious

Why did you multiply 33 times 3?

[letmethink]

Why did you multiply 33 times 3?

I just thought I would convert the fraction.
My view is like this the questions reads tome like to find the thirty three and one by three percentage of 1208.20

So I just converted the fraction and took the percentage

Sorry if I am wrong.
No one should consider my answer seriously. I was just telling my opininon

Do you know how to solve the problem now?

[letmethink]

I think now I made a mistake actually when the fraction is converted it is 100/3
Then it will 100/3 % 1208.20
That mean both hundred will get canceled
It is simply 1208.20 / 3

[letmethink]

Do you know how to solve the problem now?

Do u think my view is right

[teacherjenn4]

do u think my view is right

Where is the second 100 you are canceling out?

[letmethink]

OK what I did was
Convert the fraction that means 33 1/3 means (33*3)+1 ) /3
So 100/3 %1208.20
That means (100/3) *(1/100) * 1208.20
That means both hundred will get cancelled
That means 1208.20 /3 left

I did .333 x 1208.20

33 1/3% is .333

I think you are over complicating this.

Maybe I am under-complicating it... lol

That's why I said in the very beginning to change the percent to a decimal. The other number is also a decimal. Then multiply the two numbers.

[letmethink]

yeah maybe its complicating,even if I went too far, I am happy, finally I got the answer too after all the mess

.333* 1208.20=402.3306

and 1208.20/3 is also 402.3306
