Answer:

It is important to place the decimal in the correct spot when multiplying percents because if you don't, the answer is actually INCORRECT.

Explanation:

INCORRECT example: 3.45 times 4.5 = 155.25 ⛔

CORRECT example: 3.45 times 4.5 = 15.525 ✅

Trust me, I ALWAYS made that mistake and questioned why my answer was wrong.
