To convert a percentage to decimal form, you need to divide the number in the percent by 100. In reality, that just looks like moving the decimal point to the left two places.

83% / 100 = 0.83

83% in decimal form is 0.83.
Hope that helped! =)

Lee is thinking of two Numbers,the product is 18. the quotient is 2

defon

X, y - the numbers

The product is 18.
$xy=18$

The quotient is 2.
$\frac{x}{y}=2 \ \ \ |\times y \\
x=2y$

Substitute 2y for x in the 1st equation:
$2y \times y=18 \\
2y^2=18 \ \ \ |\div 2 \\
y^2=9 \\
y=\pm \sqrt{9} \\
y=3 \ \lor \ y=-3 \\ \\
x=2y \\
x=2 \times 3 \ \lor \ x=2 \times (-3) \\
x=6 \ \lor \ x=-6 \\ \\
(x,y)=(6,3) \hbox{ or } (x,y)=(-6,-3)$

The numbers are 6 and 3 or -6 and -3.
