You write the dollars to the left of the decimal point; and the cents to the right, using two decimals.
$2.00 2 dollars, or two-hundred cents. $0.02 Point zero-two dollars, or two cents. $0.002 (0.002 dollars) Point zero-zero-two dollars. This has a value of 1/5 of a penny. ---------- 2.00¢ (=0.02 dollars) Two cents (with a redundant .00 for demonstration purposes). 0.2¢ (=0.002 dollars) Point-two cents, so 5 of these would make up one whole cent. 0.02¢ (=0.0002 dollars) Point-zero-two cents, so 50 of these would make up one whole cent. 0.002¢ (=0.00002 dollars) Point-zero-zero-two cents, so 500 of these would be required to make up one single cent.
Move the decimal point two positions to the right and add a percentage sign.
7.92 Seven and ninety-two hundredths Seven point nine two
When the fractional parts of the two decimals (the bits to the right of the decimal point) are equivalent.
You write the dollars to the left of the decimal point; and the cents to the right, using two decimals.
When you multiply decimals, the decimal point is placed in the product.
For example 2.67 two point sixty-seven
Two decimals are equivalent only if everything from the decimal point to the last non-zero digit is the same in both of them. Additional zeros after that don't matter.

what are two other decimals equivalent to 2.2 ?
to do this, just drop the percent sign, the move the decimal point two places to the right.
If the two decimal numbers have x and y digits after the decimal points, then the product has (x + y) digits after the decimal point.
Two of them are terminating decimals and recurring decimals
