To determine what number is 45% of 37, you can use the following expression:
[tex]\[ \text{Number} = \left(\frac{\text{Percentage}}{100}\right) \times \text{Base Number} \][/tex]
In this case, the percentage is 45% and the base number is 37. Plugging these values into the expression, we have:
[tex]\[ \text{Number} = \left(\frac{45}{100}\right) \times 37 \][/tex]
Now, let’s solve this step by step:
1. Convert 45% to a decimal by dividing by 100:
[tex]\[ \frac{45}{100} = 0.45 \][/tex]
2. Multiply this decimal by the base number (37):
[tex]\[ 0.45 \times 37 = 16.65 \][/tex]
So, 45% of 37 is 16.65.
