Question

3/10 find 14% of 204 .2856 285,6 2.856 28.56

Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

To find a percentage of a number, we first convert the percentage to a decimal. 14% is equivalent to $0.14$ (since $14\%=\frac{14}{100} = 0.14$).

Step2: Multiply the decimal by the number

Now, we multiply this decimal by 204. So we calculate $0.14\times204$.
First, calculate $14\times204 = 2856$. Then, since $0.14$ has two decimal places, we move the decimal point two places to the left in the result. So $0.14\times204=28.56$.

Answer:

28.56 (corresponding to the option with 28.56)
