Step-by-step solution

The problem

{70}\% \text{ of } {500}
  1. Change 70% to a decimal. Divide by 100.

    70\% = 70 \div 100 = 0.7
    = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{0.7} \times 500
  2. Multiply. Leave out the decimal points and multiply, then put the point back. Count the decimal places: 0.7 has 1, so the answer has 1.

    \begin{aligned} 7 \times 500 &= 3500 \\[10pt] 3500 \div 10 &= 350 \end{aligned}
    = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{350}

All the working together

\begin{aligned} &{70}\% \text{ of } {500} \\[8pt] &= 0.7 \times 500 && \textcolor{#5b6660}{\textsf{percent → decimal}} \\[8pt] &= \textcolor{#0b5c56}{350} && \textcolor{#5b6660}{\textsf{multiply}}\end{aligned}
