1) doing doing twice to left of the part of a number
2) multiply that by the whole to get your percent
SO.......
The percent is.......... 4.08
Ex) Find the percent : 2.5 of 16
Still doing doing to left twice
Then still multiply the two numbers

Ex) 250 % of 20
Still doing doing to left twice
Then still multiply the two numbers
2.5 x 20 = 50
