What is the correct way to write 1/4% as a decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

well 1/4% wouldnt be 25% because they are 25% = 0.25 = 1/4

the percentage sign changes everything

since it is 1/4% rather than 1/4 by itself

1/4% = 0.25%

if you want to know the percent as a decimal you move the "." to the left twice

(or divide by 100)

so that means that the decimal of 0.25% would be 0.0025

Scott spent $21 out of his $300

$21/$300 = 0.07

Multiply the answer by 100 to get it as a percentage:

0.07*100 = 7

Therefore, Scott spent 7% of his paycheck on a gift
