OpenStudy (anonymous):

So shouldn't I put like 29.6% ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah you can round it up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

29.5 %

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like Phydeaux said you have to round it down sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why though? I had a problem that was "What ipercent of 91 is 45?" &The answer was 49.450... But my teacher said the answer is 49.5% Is it because the second number after the decimal is 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. The number after the 4 is >= 5, so you round up.

I think I got it. Thanks. :)
