Given the statement:

The enrollment at Sonya's school is 109% of last years enrollment.

Determine what decimal represents this year's enrollment.

Solution:

In order to determine the answer, we simply needed to convert the percentage into decimals. In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.

=  109/100

= 1.09

Final answer:

= 1.09
