Exercise 16 Page 179

Decimals and percents are ways to show parts of a whole. We want to tell which number is greater. 0.9, 95 % 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 0.9 expressed as a percent is 90 %. Since 95 is greater than 90, 95 % is greater than 90 %. This means that 95 % is greater than 0.9.
