Percentages are used to represent numbers over 100.
The correct multiplication Anoosha should have used is 0.07 x 1250
The equation is given as:
[tex]7\%\ of\ 1250 = 0.7 \times 1250[/tex]
The above equation is incorrect, because:
[tex]7\%\ of\ 1250 \ne 0.7 \times 1250[/tex]
When representing percentages, we simply divide by 100.
So, the correct equation is calculated as follows;
[tex]7\%\ of\ 1250 = \frac{7}{100} \times 1250[/tex]
Divide 7 by 100
[tex]7\%\ of\ 1250 = 0.07 \times 1250[/tex]
Hence, the correct multiplication is 0.07 x 1250
