Croke stadium in Dublin holds 82,300 people when TOTALLY full. During a football math ,a reporter estimated 40% full. How many people were estimated to be at the match. Present your answer to correct to 100 people?
So I MULTIPLIED 82,300 BY 40% AND DIVIDED BY 100
RESULT:32,920
Am I right

Yes, you found 40% of 82300, which is the same as multiplying 82300 by 0.4, but now you need to round as directed.

I do not accept what you said entirely. 40% is NOT 40. End of discussion on that. % means divide by 100, so 40% = 40/100 -40. You should not have said I MULTIPLIED 82,300 BY 40% AND DIVIDED BY 100. You should have said I MULTIPLIED 82,300 BY 40% or I MULTIPLIED 82,300 BY 40 AND DIVIDED BY 100 or I MULTIPLIED 82,300 BY .40
