What is the hundredths digit of the decimal z?

Let's say $$z=a.bcd$$. The hundredths digit of z would be the value of $$c$$. So the question is $$c=?$$

(1) The tenths digit is 100z is 2 --> $$100z=100*a.bcd=abc.d$$ --> the tenths digit of $$100z$$ is the value of $$d$$. So $$d=2$$. Not sufficient to calculate $$c$$.

(2) The units digit of 1,000z is 2 --> $$1000z=1000*a.bcd=abcd$$ --> the units digit of $$1000z$$ is the value of $$d$$. So $$d=2$$. Not sufficient to calculate $$c$$.

(1)+(2) No new info, only the value of $$d$$ is known. Not sufficient.

z = 0.abcd and we are looking for b

1. 100z = ab.cd c = 2 (insufficient)
2. 1,000z = abc.d c = 2 (insufficient)
