1.) (90/100) X (80/100) = (7200/10000)
2.) 7200/10000 = N/100
3.) solving we get , N=72

There's nothing like "stupid logic". If the "logic" is stupid, then it is not logic. Anyhow, the logic applied was perfect. So shut up if you don't know your math.

Since we want 90% of 80%, we assume the whole quantity to be 100 and then we find out its 80% which is 80. Now, the 90% of 80 is 72. And bingo. :)

90*80=7200 and 7200/10000=.72 that is 72%

90% x 80% = N% Logo: 0,90 x 0,80 = 0,72 , equivalente a 72%

90%=0.9,
80%=0.8,
(0.8)x(0.9)=0.72=72%

90%x80%=N% 90/100 X80/100=N/100 .9×.8=N/100 .72=N/100 N=.72×100 ,=72 is the ans.

% means per 100. 90%x80% means 90/100x80/100. This equals 72/100 which is 72%. Therefore N=72.

90/100 x 80/100 = 7200 / 10000 = 72/100 = 72%. N = 72. Answer : 72

90% = 90/100, 80% = 80/100, so 90% x 80% = (90/100) x (80/100) = 0.9 x 0.8 = 0.72 0.72 = 72/100 = 72%

Problem: 90% * 80% = N%

My solution: 90 / 10 = 9

9 * 8 = 72

N = 72

Although it could also have been solved similarly: 80 / 10 = 8; 8 * 9 = 72. Works either way.

Not sure if this way makes a whole lot of sense but it's how I did it. Like if this made sense to you.

90*80=7200 100^2=10000 Then, 7200/10000 = 72/100 72% <------- :))

90% x 80% = .90 x .80 = .72 =72% so N=72

Michael Kheong

90% = 9/10 MULTIPLY 80% = 8/10 which equals 9 x 8 = 72 and you cross out all the percent signs in the questions which leaves you with 72 as your answer.

Write a solution. 90*80=7200 but it is in percentage form so, 7200/100=72..:)

90(80) = 7200 Then divide by 100.

---> 90/100 x 80/100 = 7200/10000

7200/10000 be simplified is 72/100

72/100 = 72%

N=72

90%= .9 AND 80%=.8 THEN I MULTIPLY .9 X .8 = 0.72 SO THE FINAL ANSWER IS 72%

Juliet Crome

8= 10% of 80, so 80-8=72=90% of 80.

90% of 80% is 72....because for example 80%=100,so 10%=8....same way he is asking 90%of 80%..so 8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8=72

(90 x 80)/100=N
OR (90/100) x (80/100)= (N/100)

90% of 80% = ? 80/100=0.8 0.8*90=72 therefore, the 90% of 80% is 72.

90% = .9 80% = .8 .8 .9 = .01 * (8 9) Since we are doing percents, .01 is useless so 8*9 = 72 Thus, 72 \boxed{72} percent

Ram Varadhan

Those were in percentages., so divide the 90, 80 by hundred and then multiply them both. You will get a value which when multiplied by 100 gives the value of N in percentage

>100* (90/100)= 90 >90*(80/100)=72

multiply 90/100 by 80/100 the answer comes 7200/10000 then cut the two zeros of 7200 by two zeros of 10000 then the answer comes 72/100 which will be equal to 72% so this is the answer

90% is equal to .9

80% is equal to.8

multiply them and you get .72

.72 is = to 72%

Alexis Ingram
Aug 22, 2013

90% x 80% = 72% because you have to change the 90% and 80% into a decimal. Then you multiply them as there decimals, 0.9 x 0.8= 0.72. Now to change that into a percent we have to multiply it by 100. When i multiply 100 x 0.72 I get 72. ( Also known as 72%) And that is how i came up with the answer 72%!

Jazmen Batchelor

You make 90 into .90 and 80 into .80 and multiply. .90x.80=0.72 , move the decimal two places back.

you have to multiply 90% and 80% then just type in 72.

I multiplied .90 times .80 and I got 72

Moderator note:

Be clear in what you are saying, to avoid potential confusion. Multiplying 0.90 × 0.80 0.90 \times 0.80 gives you 0.72 0.72 , and not 72 72 .

Well I thought of it this way: What is 80 % of 90 the number?

subtracting 20 % of what 90 is would give you that number

10 % is 9 therefore 20 % is 18

90-18= 72

Maybe a bit convoluted but that's how I got there

Or... you could multiply 80 times .9. I mean, this is literally a multiplication problem. I could have solved this when I was 3.
