Accuplacer Practice Test

Expressing 0.233 as a percentage results in:

1. 0.023%

2. 23.3%

3. 2.33%

4. 33%

The correct answer is: 23.3%

When converting a decimal number to a percentage, all you have to do is shift the decimal point two places to the right and add a percent sign. For example, 0.233 becomes 23.3%. Option A is incorrect because shifting the decimal point only one place to the right would result in 2.3%, not 0.023%. Option C is incorrect because the decimal point is still in the same place, resulting in 233%. Option D is incorrect because shifting the decimal point to the left would result in 3.3%, not 33%. Therefore, option B is the correct answer as it accurately shows the conversion of 0.233 to a percentage.
