Your friend says that 14.5% is equivalent to the decimal 14.5.explain why your friend is incorrect by comparring the fractional equivalents of 14.5% and 14.5.

Sagot :

They are incorrect because when going from percent to decimal, you divide the percent by 100 and when going from decimal to percent you multiply the decimal by 100. So in the case of 14.5%... divide 14.5% by 100 to get .145. The correct decimal is .145 not 14.5.
