How do you work out these percentages questions?

[christina.b]

I'm not sure how to work these types of percentage questions out, I have been stuck on them for weeks.
E.g. what is 504,000 after a 28% deduction? How do I work this out?

Please try and make it as easy to understand as possible.
Thank you.

How much is 28% of 504,000?

Now deduct the amount (calculated above) from 504000.

What is the answer?
