#0.375-=375/1000 -=37.5%#

The third decimal place is measuring in the thousandth's.

So 0.375 is equivalent to #375/1000#

Properly written as: #0.375-=375/1000#
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To convert this percent in the format of #x%# you just multiply the fraction by 100 giving:

#" "375/1000xx100#

Which is the same as

#" "375/(10xx100)xx100#

Which is the same as

#" "375/10xx100/100 -> 37.5xx1#

But this is now a percentage so we write it as:

#37.5%#
