In a decimal number, the "hundreds place" is three places to the left of a decimal point. The "hundredths place" is two places to the right of a decimal point. So for the number 127.53, there is a 1 in the hundreds place and a 3 in the hundredths place. Therefore the "hundreds" represents a larger value.

-5y = 4.15;
y = 4.15/(-5);
y = -0.83

3.6x - 16 = 2.2x + 8;

3.6x - 2.2x = 8 + 16;

1.4x = 24;

x = 24/1.4;

x = 17.14286 (rounded)
