Example Question #31 : Percents And Decimals

What is 0.95254 expressed as a percentage rounded to the nearest tenth?

Possible Answers:

$\small 95.3\%$

$\small \small 0.95\%$

$\small \small 95\%$

$\small 95.25\%$

$\small 100\%$

Correct answer:

$\small 95.3\%$

Explanation:

Percents are numbers expressing parts of $\small 100$ : $\small \small 1\%$ means $\small 1$ part of $\small 100$ , or $\small \frac{1}{100}$ .

The simplest way to convert a decimal to a percentage is to move the decimal place over two places to the right. We move the decimal point to after the hundredths place because we are rewriting the decimal as a portion of $\small 100$ . Therefore:

$\small 0.9525=95.25\%$

Now, we need to round the percentage to the nearest tenth. The number after the tenths place is a five, so we need to round up:

$\small 95.25\%\Rightarrow95.3\%$

$\small 95.3\%$ is therefore our final answer.

Example Question #32 : Percents And Decimals

What is $\small 2.420398$ expressed as a percentage rounded to the nearest hundredth?

Possible Answers:

$\small 242.04\%$

$\small 2.42\%$

$\small 242\%$

$\small 0.02\%$

$\small 24.20\%$

Correct answer:

$\small 242.04\%$

Explanation:

Percents are numbers expressing parts of $\small 100$ : $\small \small 84\%$ is the same thing as saying $\small 84$ parts of $\small 100$ or $\small \frac{84}{100}$

$\small 2.420398=242.0398\%$

In everyday usage, percents usually are between $\small \small 0\%$ and $\small 100\%$ . However, when a number is greater than $\small 1$ , it's corresponding percentage is going to be greater than $\small 100\%$ . The next step of this problem is to round the percentage we have to the nearest hundredth. The number in the thousandths place is $\small 9$ , therefore, we're going to round up:

$\small 242.0398\%\Rightarrow242.04\%$

$\small 242.04\%$ is therefore our final answer.
