It says the number is a 3 digit number so 3 digits behind the decimal

are you sure.. its 3 digit?.. b'cos as per the clue.. "The mystery number has a 7 in the thousandths place"...
Excelchat Expert
10/11/2017 - 01:31

0.247?
User

Yes but does the result number of 0.247 times 100 have a 4 in the ones place
Excelchat Expert
10/11/2017 - 01:37
24.7
Excelchat Expert
10/11/2017 - 01:38
0.247 * 100 = 24.7... so 4 is in ones place..
Excelchat Expert
10/11/2017 - 01:38
7 in the thousandths place... in decimal system.. it is 3rd number after decimal
Excelchat Expert
10/11/2017 - 01:38
so remaining 2 will come 1st
