How much is 6/10 expressed in a decimal?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
To find a percent you take the number given (6 tenths) and divide by 100, Then multiply by 45.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
60%
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No. In no way should you get 60% in this equation.
Your new equation to account for the percent is
\[((6/10)/100) \times 45\]

I knew you would confuse him :P

This is a trick question, @michaelJordan
OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):
6/10% is not 6/10
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It's not a trick question if you read % as /100.
OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):
6/10%=(0.6)*0.01
6/10=0.6

It is a trick question to most people learning percents.
