Solve 1+15/100*12/12

$$1+ \frac{ 15 }{ 100 } \times \frac{ 12 }{ 12 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{23}{20}=1.15$$

Solution Steps

Divide 12 by 12 to get 1.

$$1+\frac{15}{100}\times 1$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{15}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$1+\frac{3}{20}\times 1$$

Multiply \frac{3}{20} and 1 to get \frac{3}{20}.

$$1+\frac{3}{20}$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{20}{20}.

$$\frac{20}{20}+\frac{3}{20}$$

Since \frac{20}{20} and \frac{3}{20} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{20+3}{20}$$

Add 20 and 3 to get 23.

$$\frac{23}{20}$$

Factor

$$\frac{23}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 5} = 1\frac{3}{20} = 1.15$$
