multiply the number by .1, that is the decimal form of 10%
1, to the right
To find what number is 10 percent of 527, convert 10% to decimal notation and multiply that by 527. 10% is .10 in decimal notation, so 10% of 527 is 0.10*527 = 52.7
whenever you multiply a whole number by a decimal you get a decimal. 2.9x100=290
You usually get another number!

No.
Remember that any number can be written as a fraction first by putting the number over one.In this case:3.27271Now we can multiply the numerator (top number) and the denominator (bottom number) to get rid of the decimal. Remember when we multiply a number with a decimal by 10 we move the decimal point over to the right by one step. So to move the decimal place over by 4 steps, we multiply by 10 four times or 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 or 10,000.3.27271X10,00010,000=32,72710,000
Take the decimal and multiply by 10. Then put that new number over 100, then simplify.
You cannot just move the decimal when you multiply or divide by 101001000.
10% = .10 (decimal equivilant) 10% can not be changed into a whole number unless you multiply by 10 or greater.

(number) X 10^(power) example 2.343 X 10^8 ---------------------------- 1450 = 1.45 x 103 basically you shift the decimal place over to the left and stop just before the last number. Multiply this new number by 10 to the power of the number of decimal places you shifted by. 0.00145 = 1.45 x 10-3 its the same thing for decimal numbers except you shift the decimal place to the right and stop just after the first number greater than 0. you multiply this number by 10 to the negative power of the number of decimal places you shifted by.
Either multiply the number by 1/10 or divide the number by 10 or move the decimal point one position to the left

Often, yes. But it depends on the numbers. For example, if you multiply 1.5 x 2, you get 3 as the answer (whole number). But if you multiply 1.5 x 3, you get a decimal of 4.5
