Answer:

[tex]\frac{2.5}{100}=0.025\:or\:2.5\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In step 4.

Weston made a mistake when he divided 2.5 by 100. He wrote it as he had multiplied 2.5 by 10 instead of moving the point back two decimals places to the left.

In the Step 4:

[tex]\frac{2.5}{100}= 0.025\:or\:2.5\:\%[/tex]

This can be verified by dividing 1 over 40, that'll  give us 0.025
