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.
By doing this it aligns all the place values so you can clearly add or subtract the correct place values and get a correct answer. You might say it is an organization technique. Of course if you use a calculator, this is not necessary.
One of the most common instances will be money! Whenever we have some number of cents that do not add up to a full dollar, we express the amount as a decimal. For example, $3.75, $12.69, and even $1.00 are all examples of decimals. Decimals are also used in measurements of all types. You might be told to take 2.5 tablespoons of a medicine twice per day, have a weight of 95.1 pounds, have to buy carpeting for a room measuring 12.3 x 16.8 feet, etc. Decimals are frequently used in science, from laboratory experimental data to certain well-known scientific constants (for instance, g is often treated as 9.8 ms^-2 and Avogadro's number for the number of particles per mole is approximately 6.02 x 10^23). All of these use decimals.

Repeating decimals are rational numbers if there is a pattern, like 0.22222222. If it is not a pattern, like 0.568964329, it is an irrational number.
To add the two decimals together
line up the decimals together
Just make sure you line up the decimals
You can use decimal models to add decimals by using the hundedths blocks as used in base-ten blocks and add the following decimals you need to and use the hundredths block to shade in the total.
because you can always add a 0 when using decimals
Convert the repeating decimals into fractions, and then add those. If you need it as a decimal, then you can just convert the product back into a decimal!:)
You line up the decimals with the thousandths and put the decimal straight down from where it is and just add with the decimal in the same spot.
by converting them to equivalent fractions
Try again.
you can add up 8.44 and .45
You add decimals the same way you add regular numbers. But you've gotta remember that 8.4 is the same as 8.40.
39.63 +42.35 ------------ 81.98 Just line up the decimals and then add.
