Confirm Calculation

[jennyjoan]

What is 0.5% of £4,600 please. Is it £23.

[jennyjoan]

I asked Mr Google and I think I am correct.

[Oldred]

yes

[sandyRoe]

yes. 1% would be £46. So 0.5 is half of that

[Bazile]

Yes

[Sqad]

Correct.

Mrs Google wouldn't have known.

[jennyjoan]

thank you.

[jennyjoan]

I actually work it via very old method of fractions but I do be a little unsure.

[Bazile]

Is that your commision - if so that's very small isn't it ?

[Peter Pedant]

yes well done
welcome back to what we called fundamental arithmetic [ bleeeeuch ]

[boxtops]

1% = divide the number by 100 = £46
0.5% = half of that = £23

[Sqad]

Yes! yes! boxy...........it has been answered.

[hc4361]

In the google search box type:

4600*.5%

and you get the answer.

[stuey]

Of the 12 answers prior to this one, 16% contained an actual numerical answer, whereas, 83% did not:)

[Baldric]

Yes.

[hc4361]

Stuey, what did the remaining 1% do?

[stuey]

They all got lost when I didn't round off .16666666... to 17. but we didn't those people anyway:)

[stuey]

To .17, that should be.
