Answer:
34.4
Step-by-step explanation:
10% is the same thing as 0.1 so 344 times 0.1 is 34.4
A percent (%) is equal to 1/100 (We actually don't call that 'per''cent' for no reason)
So 10% is actually 10 times % which is:
[tex]10\% \\ 10(\frac{1}{100}) \\ \frac{10}{100} \\ \frac{1}{10}[/tex]
If you get a calculator and calculate 1/10 the calculator should give 0.1
You might be taught that to get the decimal form from percent you just move the decimal point to the left twice (like 34% -----> .34) but if you do this, you are essentially dividing by 100 or multiplying by 1/100
now you know 10% is 0.1 the next thing to do is multiply it to 344.
[tex]344(\frac{1}{10}) \\ \frac{344}{10} \\ 34.4[/tex]
