Chapter 4: Problem 3

Calculate \(220 \%\) of \(-75\).

Short Answer

Expert verified
Answer: -165

Step by step solution

01

Convert the percentage to a decimal

To convert 220% to a decimal, divide 220 by 100: $$ \frac{220}{100} = 2.20 $$ Now we have the decimal, 2.20, which we will use to find 220% of -75.
02

Multiply the decimal by -75

Now, multiply 2.20 (the decimal equivalent of 220%) by -75: $$ 2.20 \times -75 = -165 $$
03

Final Answer

So, \(220\%\) of \(-75\) is equal to \(-165\).
