Two thumbs down. Is that for giving the correct answer, or for showing the asker how to do the problem for next time? Or perhaps jealousy?

How do I find the answer or wut is the answer, 30 percent off of a car rental that costs 66 bucks?
';Percent'; is short for ';per cent,'; or ';per 100.';





When you're working in math, 1.00 represents 100 percent.





So, to figure out what to multiply by, you move the decimal of the percent two places.





First: Move the decimal two places for 30%.





Now you want to figure out the result. ';Of'; in math means multiply. So multiply your car rental price by the number you just figured out.





So second:


1. 30 percent OF 66 bucks.


2. 30 percent * 66





Do the math, and there's your answer.
First, let's take that the fact that 30% is actually ';30 per 100.'; Now, we know that the word per can be translated into ';/';--the sign for division. Now we have ';30/100.';





If ';percentage = x per price'; then ';30/100 = x/price.';





Now, we know that the price is 66 dollars. So, ';30/100 = x/66'; where x represents the amount of money off of the car rental.





Solve for x.
