    1. 7% can also be written as. 07

    2. To figure out what 7% of 24.50 is than you need to multiple 24.50*.07.

    3. 24.50*.07 = 1.715 or $1.72

    4. Another way to think about this is as follows:

    X/24.50 = 7/100 and solve for X

    24.50*7 = 100x

    171.50 = 100x

    171.50/100=x

    1.715 = X

    24.50*.07 = 1.715 or $1.72
