When 1/10 percent of 7,000 is subtracted from 1/10 of 7,000, the difference is	Choose the most appropriate option:
A) 0	B) 50	C) 450	D) 693	E) 500
We can break this problem into two parts:   1) What is 1/10 percent of 7,000?   2) What is 1/10 of 7,000?   To calculate 1/10 percent of 7,000 we must first remember to DIVIDE 1/10 BY 100.   So we have: (1/10)/(100)   To divide a number by 100 means to multiply it by 1/100, so we have:   1/10 x 1/100 = 1/1,000   Thus, 1/10 percent of 7,000 = 1/1,000 x 7,000 = 7.   Now let's concentrate on part 2. We need to calculate 1/10 of 7,000. To do this we simply multiply 1/10 by 7,000.   1/10 x 7,000 = 700   The answer to part 1 is 7, and the answer to part 2 is 700. Their difference is 700 – 7 = 693.   Answer 693.
