Answer:
1.994
Step-by-step explanation:
"Percent" means "per 100" or "over 100". To convert 199.4% to a decimal rewrite 199.4 percent in terms of per 100 or over 100.
199.4% = 199.4 over 100 or,
199.4%=199.4100
199.4 over 100 is the same as 199.4 divided by 100. Completing the division we get:
199.4 ÷ 100 = 1.994
Therefore, we have shown that
199.4% = 1.994
Simplified Conversion:
Remove the percent sign % and divide by 100.
199.4 ÷ 100 = 1.994
Shortcut Conversion:
Move the decimal point 2 places to the left and remove the percent sign %
199.4% becomes 1.994
You gotta combine like terms which would be 9x and 12x which gives you 21x .
