To take a percent, move the decimal point of the percent two places to the left. 7% = 0.07
Then multiply:
12.60 • 0.07 = 0.88
12.60 + 0.88 = 13.48
The total cost is: $13.48
To compare these two values, we need them to be in the same form.
To convert 20% into a decimal, we divide 20/100, or 0.20.
When comparing decimals, we know that 0.2 > 0.02.
Therefore, 20% > 0.02. (20% is greater than 0.02)
