how do we calculate 8% of 300
We can do this in 2 different ways.The longer but often more clear way is to divide 300 by 100 to get 1% then multiply that by 8.\(8( \frac{300}{100} )=24\) -- therefore 8% of 300 is 24.Alternatively we can just multiply 300 by 0.08\(300*0.08=24\)
\(8\% \ of \ 300= \frac{8}{100}*300= \\\\ =8*3= \boxed{24}\)
