Question

Find the following product

$100\times 22.61$

Answer 1

Solve the product

The place value after the decimal represents the fractional part of the number.
So, we can write $22.61=\frac{2261}{100}$

Now,

$$\begin{gathered} 100\times 22.61 \\ =100\times \frac{2261}{100} \\ =2261 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the correct answer is $2261$.
