Question

Ella said she could write a decimal percent as a decimal by moving the decimal point 2 places to the left and deleting the percent sign. Is she​ correct? How do you​ know?

Answer 1

She is correct

Explanation:

Remember that a percent is out of 100 so for example, take 0.5%

0.5%= 0.5/100= 0.005

Now to see if it will work the other way around:

0.005 * 100 = 0.5

This also works with whole numbers.

Answer 2

She is correct.

Explanation:

When dividing a decimal percent by 100 ​, the decimal point moves 2 ​place(s) to the left.
