Step-by-step solution

The problem

{60}\% \text{ of } {250}
  1. Change 60% to a decimal. Divide by 100.

    60\% = 60 \div 100 = 0.6
    = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{0.6} \times 250
  2. Multiply. Leave out the decimal points and multiply, then put the point back. Count the decimal places: 0.6 has 1, so the answer has 1.

    \begin{aligned} 6 \times 250 &= 1500 \\[10pt] 1500 \div 10 &= 150 \end{aligned}
    = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{150}

All the working together

\begin{aligned} &{60}\% \text{ of } {250} \\[8pt] &= 0.6 \times 250 && \textcolor{#5b6660}{\textsf{percent → decimal}} \\[8pt] &= \textcolor{#0b5c56}{150} && \textcolor{#5b6660}{\textsf{multiply}}\end{aligned}
