What is 301 times 2 percent?

Here we will show you two different yet similar ways of calculating 301 times 2 percent (301 x 2%). The idea is to show you different ways of calculating 301 times 2 percent so you will have a good understanding of the underlying process of multiplying any number with any percent.

We start by converting 2 percent to a decimal number by dividing 2 by 100 and then we multiply that decimal number by 301. Here is the math to illustrate:

301 x 0.02 = 6.02

The reason we divide 2 by 100 above is because 2 percent means per 100. You can actually divide by 100 after you multiply 301 by 2 and get the same answer. Again, here is the math to illustrate:

301 x 2 = 602
602 / 100 = 6.02

The key is to remember is that "percent" in 2 percent means per hundred and you have to adjust for that with problems like this. To summarize, here is 301 times 2 percent with the answer:
