Answer 1

"Of" means to multiply.

 

1.65(10) = 16.5

 

I bet you can get the rest!

Answer 2

The "of" implies multiplication.

 

How would you find 50% of 10? 50% is .5 as a decimal. .5 * 10 = 5. Convert all the percentages to decimals and multiply the two numbers.

 

To convert a percentage to a decimal, you need to divide by 100.

 

165% becomes 1.65

106% becomes 1.06

8.9% becomes 0.089

 

165% of 10 = 1.65 * 10 = 16.5

106% of $40 = 1.06*$40 = $42.40

8.9% of 75 = .089 * 75 = 6.675
