Question

use the aleks calculator to find 95% of 65. do not round your answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

To find a percentage of a number, first convert the percentage to a decimal. For \(95\%\), we divide by \(100\), so \(95\%=\frac{95}{100}=0.95\).

Step2: Multiply the decimal by the number

We want to find \(95\%\) of \(65\). Using the formula \(P\times N\) (where \(P\) is the percentage in decimal form and \(N\) is the number), we have \(0.95\times65\).

$$0.95\times65=(1 - 0.05)\times65=65-0.05\times65=65 - 3.25=61.75$$

Answer:

\(61.75\)
