Question

185/100 + 50% + 4%

This is for a mastery challenge and for this lesson alone, I've been getting the answers wrong. If you can help me and explain it to me!

Answer 1

Convert everything to a decimal.
To do that with a fraction divide the numerator by the denominator.
185 divided by 100 = 1.85

To convert a percent to a demical move the number to the right twice. Or divide the number by 100. 50 divided by 100 = 0.5
4 divided by 100 = 0.04
Now add :)
1.85 + 0.5 + 0.04 = 2.39

Answer 2

185/100 + 50/100 +4/100
= (185+50+4)/100
=239/100
=2.39
