I need to change this number to a percentage, rounded to the nearest tenth.
1350-1010/1010=.336633663
would the answer be 3%? this one is confusing to me for some reason
First, you must understand that when writing equations in one line (as one must do on these boards), parentheses are needed to make things clear. For example, you COULD have meant
1350 - (1010/1010) = OR
it could be (1350-1010)/1010 = 0.336633663.
To convert to percent, multiply by 100 which makes it 33.6633663%. The nearest 1/10 (tenth) is the first 6. So I would write this as 33.66%, then round to the nearest tenth as 33.7%,
To change a decimal to a percent, move the decimal point two places to the right.
0.3366 = 33.7%
its realy .34
An example:
.336633663
3 is the tenths place (0.1)
3 is the hundredths place (0.01)
6 is in the thousandths place (0.001)
roud to the nearest tenth would be .3
the answer is .3 * 100 = 30%
No.
The problem says to change the decimal to a percent, rounded to the nearest tenth.
i just reread it ..thank u and i apologize amy could you please help me with me recent post Ms Sue
To change a number to a percentage, you need to multiply it by 100. In this case, the number is 0.336633663. So, multiply 0.336633663 by 100:
0.336633663 * 100 = 33.6633663
Now, to round it to the nearest tenth, you'll need to round it to one decimal place. Since the digit after the tenths place is 6, which is greater than or equal to 5, you round up the tenths place:
33.6633663 rounds up to 33.7%
Therefore, the number 0.336633663, rounded to the nearest tenth, is approximately 33.7%.
