OpenStudy (britanyashton):

go two places to the left with your decimal.

OpenStudy (britanyashton):

the dot is the decimal. .85%.... Here's an example 50% converted to the simple form is still going two places to the left with your decimal. its understood that your decimal is 50. <--right here, in this case. Go two places to the left to convert it. .50 is the answer in this case. Make sense?
