Which number can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the decimals before solving?–m + 0.02 + 2.1m = –1.45 – 4.81m

The decimals have at most two digits after the decimal point: 0.02, 2.1, 1.45, and 4.81. Multiplying every term by 100 moves each decimal point two places and turns all the coefficients and constants into whole numbers, so the correct choice is 100.
