Question

Round the following percentages two decimal placesA. 16.981%B. 13.655%C. 0.569%D. 98.990%E. 98.999%

Answer 1

Given the percentages provided in the exercise, you need to follow these steps in order to round them to two decimal places:

1. Identify the digit in the Thousandths Place.

2. If the digit is greater than or equal to 5, you must round up. This means that you must add 1 unit to the digit in the Hundredths Place, and the other digits on the right become zero.

3. If the digit is less than 5, you must round down. This means that the digit in the Hundredths Place stays the same and the other digits on the right become zero.

Therefore, applying those steps, you get:

A.

`16.981\text{\%}\approx16.98\text{\%}`

B.

`13.655\text{\%}\approx13.66\text{\%}`

C.

`0.569\text{\%}\approx0.57\text{\%}`

D.

`98.990\text{\%}\approx98.99\text{\%}`

E.

`98.999\text{\%}\approx99.00\text{\%}`

Hence, the answers are:

A.

`16.981\text{\%}\approx16.98\text{\%}`

B.

`13.655\text{\%}\approx13.66\text{\%}`

C.

`0.569\text{\%}\approx0.57\text{\%}`

D.

`98.990\text{\%}\approx98.99\text{\%}`

E.

`98.999\text{\%}\approx99.00\text{\%}`
