Of course! Without decimals, you couldn't calculate percentages or fractions. Decimals allow you to break a number up. A decimal is basically a fraction, and when you calculate fraction adding, subtraction, multiplication, and division, sometimes it is easier to calculate a fraction by first changing it to a decimal instead.

How is adding and subracting with money like adding and subtracting whole numbers?
Really? whole numbers are like dollar bills. if there is no change then $1.00 can be just $1 a whole number, no decimals, and so can all other total dollar amounts.

What is the relationship between integer's whole number's and counting number's?
"Integers" are all numbers, positive and negative, that aren't fractions or decimals. Examples: -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,57, 109349503... Whole numbers are all positive integers. (Including zero, which looks like a "hole". haha.) Examples: 0,1,2,3,4... counting numbers are just like whole numbers except they don't include zero. Also known as "natural" numbers. It's like what people naturally count. Examples: 1,2,3,4... They are ALL integers though...no fractions or decimals.

How do you do mean median and mode with decimals?
Mean- add all the numbers together and divide by how many there are just like you do with whole numbers. Median- put the decimals in order from smallest to largest then find the middle number just like you do with whole numbers. Mode- find which decimal is repeated the most like you do with whole numbers. So you pretty much do the same thing for all of these that you do with whole numbers Hope this helped =)

Why do you use percents?
Percents are basically decimals, and we use decimals as numbers with extra, tiny proportions. Percents are just ways to make those decimals into a whole, more friendlier number. But, percents can also be made with decimals as well.
What do you do when you add or subtract decimals?
Adding and subtracting decimals is easy. When you put the numbers one above the other, line up the decimals vertically and treat as you would any whole number just keep the decimals in line and bring it straight down to your answer.
