1. We first convert the percent into a decimal. To do this, move the percent sign two places to do the left and turn it into a decimal point.
18% => 0.18
Then multiply: 0.18 * 700 = 126
So, the answer for question 1 is 126.
2. Same thing as above. Convert the percent into a decimal.
65% => 0.65
Then multiply: 0.65 * 65 = 42.25
So, the answer for question 2 is 42.25.
