Question

anonymous · Answer

2 over 25 and 8%

anonymous · Answer

The percentage would be 8%

igreen · Answer

0.08 is the same thing as 8/100, but you can simplify that by dividing 4 to 8 and 100.

$$\Huge 0.08=\frac{8}{100}=8\cdot\frac{1}{100}=8\%$$

@skullpatrol Don't give answers.

anonymous · Answer

To make that easier you just take 0.08 times 100 and then you get your answer!

skullpatrol · Answer

I am not giving the answer @iGreen by definition percent means "hundredths" or "divide by 100"

skullpatrol · Answer

"divide by 100" is the same as multiplying by 1/100

so rewriting the number as x * (1/100) gives x %

igreen · Answer

@skullpatrol You just gave her the answer '8%'.

skullpatrol · Answer

So did you @iGreen  when you wrote "0.08 is the same thing as 8/100"

anonymous · Answer

dividing by 100 is not the same. when you multiply by 100 you get the percentage. when you divide by 100 you get the decimal form. she was asking for the percentage so then that means she will use x times 100 to get her answer.

skullpatrol · Answer

0.08 is the same thing as 8/100 = 8 * (1/100) = 8 %

skullpatrol · Answer

there is no need to multiply by 100 @DragonOrca97  since 1/100 = %

igreen · Answer

8/100 isn't the answer -.-

igreen · Answer

You have to simplify it.
