Question

Answer 1

tell me what you got for the answer

Answer 2

0.882

Answer 3

you get that by dividing 88.2 by 100

88.2/100 = 0.882

or you can just move the decimal point 2 spots to the left

Answer 4

so in general

x% = x/100

Answer 5

the word "percent" refers to a division by 100

if we take a number: n

1% of n is equal to: n/100

a decimal refers to a number between 0 and 1, so if we let n=1, then 1/100 = 1%

if you want 88,.2 of those ... then 88.2*1/100
