Question

Find 15.4% of 360°. (Round your answer to the nearest whole degree.)

Answer 1

We need to find 15.4% of 360º.

Notice that:

$15.4\%=\frac{15.4}{100}=\frac{154}{1000}$

Also, 15.4% of 360º corresponds to the product:

$15.4\%\cdot360\degree$

Thus, we have:

$15.4\%\text{ of }360\degree=\frac{154}{1000}\cdot360\degree=\frac{154\cdot360}{1000}=\frac{154\cdot36}{100}=\frac{5544}{100}=55.44\degree$

Since 0.44 < 0.50, rounding to the nearest whole degree, we obtain:

Answer

55º
