Exercise 46 Page 72

To begin, it is necessary that we rewrite one of the numbers so that they are both in the same form. We can write 0.12 as a percent or we can write 120 % as a decimal. It does not matter which. We will arbitrarily choose to write 120 % as a decimal.

120 %

a %=a/100

1.2

In decimal form, 120 % is equivalent to 1.2. Now we can compare both numbers. 1.2 > 0.12 Therefore, 120 % is greater.
