how do i find percentages?

Question

how do i figure out 53% of 211 im not sure how to figure out this problem.

Answer 1

The previous answer given is correct. Just to help you remember, whenever you see a percent symbol, %, that means per 100. So 53% actually means 53/100 or 0.53. 

Answer 2

Simple. multiply 211 by .53. When using percents, you must always move the decimal 2 places left before you multiply, and that's your answer.
