======27
======.24
-------------
====== 108
======54
---------------
======648, and count in two places for the decimal so it is 6.48. The two places in comes from the 0.24
Difficult to do here.
On the other hand .24 is 24%. Break 24% down into 10%, 10% and 4%
10% of anything is putting a decimal point between the last number and the second from last.
10% of 27 is 2.7
20% of 27 is 2.7*2=5.40, or 2.7+2.7
now 1% of anything is putting a decimal point between the second from last number and the third from last.
1% of 27 is 0.27
4% of 27 is 0.27+0.27+0.27+0.27 or 1.08
24% or .24 is 5.40+1.08 or 6.48
