Answer :
We have to find the 23% of the number 85.
We remember that we can write 23% as:
[tex]\frac{23}{100}[/tex]For finding the percentage, we multiply the number by the fraction, as shown:
[tex]23\text{\% of }85=85\cdot\frac{23}{100}=\frac{1955}{100}=19.55[/tex]This means that the 23% of 85 is 19.55.
