Solution Steps

The following question is of the type "How much X percent of W", where W is the whole amount and X is the percentage figure or rate".

Let's say that you need to find 28.7 percent of 35. What are the steps?

Step 1: First determine the value of the whole amount. We assume that the whole amount is 35.

Step 2: Determine the percentage, which is 28.7.

Step 3: Convert the percentage 28.7% to its decimal form by dividing 28.7 by 100 to get the decimal number 0.287:

28.7100 = 0.287

Notice that dividing by 100 is the same as moving the decimal point two places to the left.

28.7 → 2.87 → 0.29

Step 4: Finally, find the portion by multiplying the decimal form found in the previous step by the whole amount:

0.287 x 35 = 10.045 (answer).

The steps above are expressed by the formula:

P = W × X%100

This formula says that:

"To find the portion or the part from the whole amount, multiply the whole by the percentage, then divide the result by 100".

The symbol % means the percentage expressed in a fraction or multiple of one hundred.

Replacing these values in the formula, we get:

P = 35 × 28.7100 = 35 × 0.287 = 10.045 (answer)

Therefore, the answer is 10.045 is that 28.7 percent of 35.
