To convert decimals to percents is to multiply by 100 then add a percent sign. To convert percents to decimals is to move the decimal point two places to the left or divide by 100 and remove the percent sign.
Step-by-step explanation:
Example:2.5%
2.5% can be expressed in decimal form as 0.025. Since a percent represents the part per 100 to convert a percent to a decimal divide 2.5 by 100.
2.5/100=0.025.
Example:2.5
2.5 can be expressed in percent form as 250%.Since a decimal represents a fraction and a percent is out of 100, to convert a decimal to a precent multiply 2.5 by 100.
The reason this is so is because he is looking for the amount of peaches he can buy. The equation that is number one represents that because it say 3.18 + 1.19p ≤ 10.00 showing that he wants an amount of peaches that costs less than 10.00. 1.19p standing for the amount of peaches and 3.18 representing the pomegranates.
