Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer: The quotient is not a number at all. It's simply undefined.

Discussion:

Consider the numbers "a" and "b" and further suppose that

a/0 = b

Multiplying both sides by 0 gives

(a/0) * 0 = b * 0

Cancelling the highlighted 0s gives a = 0!. Something is wrong here as "a" is not equal to zero! The error was produced by assuming the divison by 0 yield a number.

You will encounter this "divide by zero" matter several times in a Calculus courses.

so it would be 8,788.5/56,700=0.155/1
percent means parts out of 100 or x/100=x% so convert the bottom number ot 100 by mulitplyint the whole fraction by 1 or 100/100 so
