So its a or b? I think b???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Hero b?

hero (hero):

The answer isn't What you think it is. That. all I'm going to Say for now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im so confused.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait. Im pretty sure its A.

hero (hero):

Why are you now convinced it is A? What work or thought process led to this result?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

From your first comment. you said 3/10% means the same as "per hundred" or 1/100. so the 0.3 has to move to the hundreds place. 0.003

hero (hero):

A is correct, but I will write up the proper solution. Then, maybe you'll understand a bit better.

hero (hero):
