It would increase the average, just by a bit.
If <em>n</em> = 0.151515…, then 100<em>n</em> = 15.151515…
Then
100<em>n</em> - <em>n</em> = 15.151515… - 0.151515…
99<em>n</em> = 15
<em>n</em> = 15/99 = 5/33
X + y = 23000
x.08 + y.09 = 2040
x = 23000 - y
(23000 - y) .08 + y.09 = 2040
1840 - .08y + .09y = 2040
Simplify
.01y = 200
Simplify
Y = 20000
X + 20000 = 23000
X = 3000
CHECK: .08x + .09(20000) = 2040
.08x + 1800 = 2040
Simply .08x = 240
X = 3000
He moved the decimal to the right 4 times. He should of moved it to the right 2 times. Giving him 0.15%
