Answer 1

I'm not 100% sure, but I do think it is

0.042768

But it is asking for percentage, and says to round 3 decimal places, making it confusing whether you round 0.042768 first, or you round the percentage of 4.2768%. I would argue with your teacher, as the excuse of why this was turned in late.

Explanation:

It is either 4.277% or 4.3%.

Yes, you may wonder why the second possibility is just a rounded form of the first answer. It is due to rounding to three decimal places first, as 0.042768 rounded to three places is 0.043 because the 7 is more than 4 blah blah blah kiddy rhymes from elementary school yeah.

That would become 4.3%.

But 0.042768 if you turn it to a percent first is 4.2768% which becomes 4.277% if you round it afterwards. Argue this to a teacher or something.
