Complete the following table to see how decimals and negative numbers work. X Y X +Y 2,683.9 3,367.8 2,800.0 -3,000.0 How do I know if I got the answer right?

This may be indicated by the units of a header in a table, or alongside the field in a paragraph. Complete the following table to demonstrate your understanding of units in table headers. A + B A B (Millions) 1,000,000 800,000 C S 900,000 700,000 What if my answer doesn't fit in the space I'm given?

(Note: Although 60% can also be represented as 0.6, if you were to enter 0.6 into a field that automatically converts to percentages, this would be formatted as 0.60% and would be graded as incorrect, because 0.60% is not equal to 60%.) Complete the following statement to see how percentages work. As a percentage, $26.00 is equal to of $40.00
