Answer

$90$

Work Step by Step

To find a percentage of a number, we convert the percent to a decimal and then multiply that decimal by the number. One way that we can convert a percent to a decimal is by simply moving the decimal point to the left two places, and dropping the percent symbol. If we start at $45\%$, and move the decimal place two places to the left and drop the percent symbol, we end up with $0.45$. Next, we multiply: $0.45\times200=90$
