52.68 can be re-written as 5268/100
Hence the expression can reduce to 5268/100 * 1/100 = 5268/10000 = 0.5268; as there are 4 0's in the denominator hence we should go 4 places to the left.
option B

Since the number is already a decimal number 52.68 which mean it is divided by 100 already.

all we need to do is to move the decimals to the left since it is divided by 100.
