Decimals and percents are ways to show parts of a whole. We want to tell which number is greater.
0.023, 23 %
To do this, we will write a decimal as a percent. To write a decimal as a percent, we move the decimal point two places to the right and add the percent symbol.
We found that 0.023 expressed as a percent is 2.3 %. Since 23 is greater than 2.3, 23 % is greater than 2.3 %. This means that 23 % is greater than 0.023.
