Question

Explanation:

Step1: Recall percentage to decimal conversion

To find a percentage of a number, we convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100. So, \( 310\%=\frac{310}{100} = 3.10\).

Step2: Identify the correct expression

To find \( 310\% \) of \( 72 \), we multiply the decimal form of the percentage (\( 3.10 \)) by \( 72 \). So the expression is \( (3.10)(72) \).

Answer:

(3.10)(72) (assuming the third option is (3.10)(72) as per the visual order of options)
