The question:

(Bayonne, NJ)

what is 30% of 90


The answer:

Percents express a proportion.

30% means a fraction = 30/100

The fraction of 30/100 can be reduced to the fraction 3/10, or it can be converted to a decimal:

30/100 = 30 ÷ 100 = 0.3


30% of 90 means 30% multiplied by 90

30% multiplied by 90 = 0.3 * 90 = 27



The final answer to your question is:

30% of 90 = 27
