14.5% = 0.145 = 145/1000
14.5 = 14500/1000
So 14.5% is a hundredth the size of 14.5, so they are not equal and the friend is incorrect.
I think it’d be 2 and 3 if you’re rounding 2.984
Answer:
Let the integers are p and q.
In case both integers are positive or negative, you add the numbers up and apply their sign to the sum.
<u>Examples:</u>
- 10 + 88 = 98
- -20 + (-15) = -35
In case one of the integers is negative and one positive.
Use absolute value in this case.
Subtract the numbers and apply the sign of the number with the greater absolute value.
<u>Examples:</u>
- - 10 + 15 = |15 - 10| = |5| = 5
- - 15 + 10 = - |15 - 10| = - |5| = -5
