Description

I'm am figuring the reduction in yield for a corn plant. this is the formula that we have to use:

(avg. yield no infestation-average yield high infestation)/avg. yield no infestation x 100

This is my data:  Average yield no infestation=163.03     Average yield high infestation=160.60

The answer that I calculated was 0.000149052  Should I move the decimal (2 places to the right for the percent reduction in yield? Or is this the final answer
