Ohhhhh hard. You really have to know your material for this. You don't need to divide both answers if you are going to find percentages. For example (x/100)/(y/100) = x/y
Just a waste to divide by a hundred.
Same units? Hmmm. Maybe.
Divide dollars by cents? Hmm. No
You get the point: divide cents by a hundred to get dollars or multiply dollars by hundred to get cents.
omg the way u explain the answer is so funny tHANK YOU
b) write them both in the same units (cents)
To express 81c out of $3.60 as a percentage, you should first write them both in the same units (cents).
b) Write them both in the same units (cents).
To do this, convert $3.60 to cents. Since there are 100 cents in a dollar, multiply $3.60 by 100 to get 360 cents.
Now, you can express 81 cents out of 360 cents as a percentage. To do this, divide 81 by 360 and then multiply the result by 100.
So, the correct answer is b) write them both in the same units (cents).
