Problem

Calculate 63% of £200

Answer

\(\pounds 126\)

Step-by-step solution

  1. Understand the problem: We need to calculate $63\%$ of $\pounds 200$. In mathematics, the word 'of' indicates multiplication.
  1. Convert the percentage to a decimal or fraction: A percentage is a fraction out of $100$. Therefore, $63\% = \frac{63}{100} = 0.63$.

3. Set up the calculation: Multiply the decimal value by the total amount:
$$0.63 \times 200$$

4. Perform the multiplication:
$$0.63 \times 200 = 63 \times 2 = 126$$
Alternatively, using fractions:
$$\frac{63}{100} \times 200 = 63 \times \frac{200}{100} = 63 \times 2 = 126$$

  1. Final result: The result is $\pounds 126$.
