Explanation:

Step1: Convert divisor to integer

To divide by a decimal, we move the decimal point of the divisor (0.02) two places to the right to make it 2. We also move the decimal point of the dividend (84.51) two places to the right, getting 8451. So now we have to calculate \( \frac{8451}{2} \).

Step2: Perform the division

Divide 8451 by 2. \( 8451\div2 = 4225.5 \)

Answer:

4225.5
