What is 100% of eighty-four?

Explanation:
Percent means the portion of a number, found by multiplying the number by the percent written as a decimal. Hundred percent is the decimal 1, so 100% of eighty-four equals 1 × eighty-four, which is eighty-four—the full amount. The other options correspond to half (forty-two), double (one hundred sixty-eight), and one-tenth (eight) of eighty-four, respectively. So the result is eighty-four.
