VOA中的一句话不懂

题目

VOA中的一句话不懂
原句：The econemy shrink three-tenths of one percent.
three-tenths of one percent 怎么又10分之3有百分之一的?怎么翻译?

答案

……这么巧,前几天的VOA吧,我也听啦,好像连三天也不到,是千分之三哦,不过我在报纸上看到的表述是US Economy Shrinks 0.3 Percent.
还有,不是shrink,是shrank.那句话似乎是Early estimates show that the United States economy shrank by three-tenths of one percent from July through September.
