Sagot :

To find 88% of 16.45 and round it to the nearest hundredth, follow these steps:

1. Convert the percentage to a decimal: 88% as a decimal is 0.88.

2. Multiply the decimal by the given number to find the percentage of the number:
[tex]\[ 0.88 \times 16.45 = 14.476 \][/tex]

3. Round the result to the nearest hundredth:
- The number before rounding is 14.476.
- To round to the nearest hundredth, look at the thousandths place (the third digit after the decimal). In this case, the thousandths place is 6.
