Answer:
500.000
Explanation:
"Percent" means "per 100" or "over 100". To convert 20% to a decimal rewrite 20 percent in terms of per 100 or over 100.
20% = 20 over 100 or,
20%=20100
20 over 100 is the same as 20 divided by 100. Completing the division we get: 20 ÷ 100 = 0.2
Therefore, I have shown that 20% = 0.2
Now let's solve it:
Change the divisor 0.2 to a whole number by moving the decimal point 1 places to the right. Then move the decimal point in the dividend the same, 1 places to the right.
We then have the equations:
1000 ÷ 2 = 500.000
and therefore:
100 ÷ 0.2 = 500.000
