    Question

    The weight of a man is about 250% as much as the weight of a boy. Write this percent as a decimal.

    1. 2.5    
    2. 25    
    3. 0.25    
    4. 0.025    

    hintHint:

    To convert a percent into decimal, take the denominator as 100 and remove the symbol %, then move 2 place to the left and add decimal point.

    The correct answer is: 2.5

      To convert a percent into decimal, take the denominator as 100 and remove the symbol %
      250 percent sign space equals space 250 over 100
      Now, move 2 place to the left and add decimal point.
      250 over 100 equals space 2.5
      Thus, weight of a man is about 2.5times as much as the weight of a boy.
