Than did not move the decimal point three places to the left in the answer.
Than did not use 6 for 6 percent.

Respuesta :

Answer: Than did not use 0.06 for 6 percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Than computed 6 percent of 38 as 6 percent of 38 = 0.6 times 38 = 22.8.

His above solution is wrong. We should note that:

6% × 38

= 6/100 × 38.

= 0.06 × 38

= 2.28

The mistake that he made was that Than did not use 0.06 for 6 percent.
