In the decimal number system, the third place to the left of the decimal point is the hundreds place, and note that this is true even if you have not written in any actual decimal point. For example, one hundred is written as 100 with the digit 1 in the third place left of the decimal. We can imagine it as 100. but we would normally use the decimal only if there was an actual fraction involved. Money is a very good example of the use of decimal points. Let us say that your new coat costs $129.99 which means, one hundred and twenty nine dollars and ninety nine cents. Every number has a particular place, in relation to the decimal point. But even if the coat cost exactly $129 we know that we can still write in a decimal point, after the 9. That's where it goes.
