The number to the immediate right of the decimal point is in the tenths spot. The second to the right is the hundredths spot. So if one has the decimal number .17, this is 17/100ths. Now "percent" is actually latin, "per centum", meaning "out of 100". So 17/100ths is 17 per 100, or 17 per centum, or 17 percent.

How much weight is a shekel?
The basic Hebrew unit of weight (1Sa 17:5, 7; Eze 4:10; Am 8:5) and of monetary value. Based on the average of some 45 inscribed shekel weights, the shekel may be reckoned at 11.4 g (0.403 oz avdp; 0.367 oz t). One shekel equaled 20 gerahs (Nu 3:47; 18:16), and there is evidence that 50 shekels equaled one mina. Calculated in modern values, a shekel of silver would be worth $2.20, and a shekel of gold, $128.45.

What is the value of 600 shekels of gold?
A shekel is an ancient unit of weight. One of the problems with ancient units of anything is that they were notoriously non-standard with respect to region and time period; a shekel could have been anything from about 9 to about 17 grams of gold depending on when and where it was.So pick something in that range, then multiply by 50 and by the current spot price of gold per gram.

What was the value of a shekel in CE 20 Palestine?
In Exodus 30:15, the half-shekel (Temple) annual tax requires that everyone (i.e. every adult male) must pay for the upkeep of the Temple.The shekel was originally a weight used for barley in Mesopotamia in 3,000 BCE. The weight was later stamped on metals such as gold and silver. Silver was used by the Jews in Jerusalem and other western semetic peoples (Moabites, Edomites and Phoenicians).The weight of an ancient silver shekel varied between 11 and 17 grams,so a half-shekel would be, say, 1/5 of an ounce of silver, which at today's rate of US$17.20/ounce $3.44.But I agree buying power is more correct way to value the shekel. Doug Smith in his article "Buying Power of Ancient Coins" estimates that an early Roman denarius at 137 BCE would have bought enough wheat for a month's worth of bread, and was 3 day's wages for a legionary soldier. So he estimates the denarius to be worth US$20.The denarius had 4.5 grams of silver vs. the shekel's, say, 12 grams, so the shekel could be worth 2.67 x $20 $53.33. However, according to Wikipedia, the denarius was worth approx. 1.6 to 2.85 times its metal content, so the shekel value in comparison to the denarius - based on weight - would be reduced by about half, or US$26.67 in modern day value(unless Judea had the same multiplication factor for value vs. metal content, which would push the shekel back to the modern day value of $53.33).Probably the Roman currency was more widely accepted in the region and thus had a higher value at that time, so the modern day value of, say. US$30 might not be too far off the ancient value of a Judean shekel, based on buying power.It is interesting that a silver shekel was minted in Jerusalem during the third year of Bar Kokhba's reign in 68 CE with the Temple's facade, a rising star, and on the back, a lulav and the inscription "To the freedom of Jerusalem." I wonder what the modern day value of this ancient shekel is vs its original value?
How much is five shekels in biblical Israel?
From Wikipedia-Shekel; " It most commonly refers to an ancient Hebrew unit of weight. As with many ancient units, the shekel represented a variety of values depending on date, domain and region. Sources quote weights between 9 and 17 grams and values of 9, 11, 14, and 17 grams are common. It can be a gold or silver coin equal in weight to one of these units, especially the chief silver coin of the Hebrews."to compute present value just multiply current price/gram of Silver or Gold with weight.
