what does 112.50 multipled by 100% equal

Question

What does 112.50 multiplied by 100% equal?

Answer 1

The term "percent" means per (or over) 100.  So 50% = 50/100 = 1/2 and 100% = 100/100 = 1.  Hence 112.5 * 100% = 112.5 * 1 = 112.5.

Answer 2

Hi Kim--

 

Depending on how you meant this it could either mean "100% of 112.50," which would just mean "all of 112.50," which is 112.50

 

But if you meant "multiplied by 100% of itself," that would be 112.50 x 112.50, which would be 12656.25

 

Hope this helps...
