21) Mr. Velk has to write a 500 word essay. He has already written 235 words, what % of the essay did he write?

47%

Step-by-step explanation:

234/500 is .47, and to find the percentage, you move the decimal place two spots to the right. I hope this helped!

the 8 in 8,420 is in the thousands place so it's value is 8 thousand.

the 8 in 6,870 is in the hundreds place so it's value is 8 hundred.

divide 8000 by 800 to find the answer:

8000 / 800 = 10

the 8 in 8,420 is 10 times greater than the 8 in 6,870
