Question

write 83/100 as a percent. i tried .83 but says that it is wrong

Answer 1

think :
%
is the same as
/100

so
83/100 is 83%

Answer 2

Once you have it to a decimal .83 then move your decimal over 2 spaces to the right and it is now 83%

Answer 3

83/100 = .83
.83*100 = 83%

You were almost there :) That's the general solution, if you're dividing by 100, then the numerator will be your percent, you can skip the rest.
