OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one do u think it is?

OpenStudy (rebeccapink6398):

I don't get this at all

OpenStudy (ja1):

@RebeccaPink6398 Very simple actually, basically to convert a percent to a decimal you simply move the decimal point over 2 spaces to the right.

OpenStudy (rebeccapink6398):

@JA1 ... I don't get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets say it 123% then its equal to 1.23 if it would be 40% it would be .4 if it is 7.3% it is .073

OpenStudy (anonymous):
