Answer 4

I helped you with percentages yesterday. Go see your teacher. Even if other people do your homework for you, you will still never learn these basic things. If you feel silly as a boy asking for help imagine being a grown man that's too dumb to do kiddie math. Ask For Help from a teacher. The point of this is that you learn how to do it.
You need help with decimals. 14.4 percent would be .144 just like 14 % is .14. Three point three (3.3%) precent is .033 Ten's place, one's place, hundred's place. You Must learn these concepts or you will Never understand math class ever again. Ps Dont ever let me hear you saying men are better at math than women now.
