Question

Kevin was asked to find 4% of 32. His work is shown below. Do you agreе or disagree? Explain. .4(32)= 12.8

Answer 1

Given the expression 4% of 32. This can be evaluated as shown;

`\begin{gathered} =(4)/(100)*32 \\ =\text{ 0.04}*32 \\ =\text{ 1.28} \end{gathered}`

Comparing this to Kevin's calculation, I will have to disagree with Kevin because he wrongly expressed 4% as 0.4 instead of 0.04 thereby falsifying his calculation.
