yeeep and now round it to the nearest WHOLE number :D So focus on the .4 part... since it is .4 do we round up or down?

OpenStudy (vianne):

Now just round it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

down

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

Yes :D So then 11.4 % = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A?

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

yep :) we round the 0.4 part down to 0. Therefore 11.4 becomes 11 if we round to the nearest whole number :)
