Question

Find the value of $12\%$ of $18.6$.

Answer 1

As per given statement, $12\%$ of $18.6$ will be expressed as,

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow 12\%\times 18.6 \\ \Rightarrow \frac{12}{100}\times 18.6=\frac{12}{100}\times \frac{186}{10} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{12\times 186}{1000}=\frac{2232}{1000} \end{gathered}$$

(divide by $1000$ , i.e., shifting decimal three places to left)

$\Rightarrow \frac{2232}{1000}=2.232$

Hence, $12\%$ of $18.6=2.232$
