Answer:

0.2705

Explanation:

A percentage is a part of a whole, therefore a percentage is part of 1. “27.05%” is, just as it states, part of a whole, 1, in fact. If 1 was broken into 100 pieces, 27 1/2 of them would be 27.05% of that 1. Making your answer 0.2705.

The answer is .2705.

  1. You have to count from the decimal two places to the left. Which in this stance, it is between the 7 and the 0.
  2. After moving two places to the left, you have your answer.
