Question

The decimal form of 43% is

Answer 1

.43

Explanation:

If I see % in a number I like to think of it as times 1/100 or divided by 100 (those are the same thing).

So we are doing 43 divided by 100 (or 43/100) which gives you .43 .

Anytime you divide by 100 you have to move the decimal left twice. (43 is 43. so 43. divided by 100 is .43)

Example

23.5%=.235

Why?

23.5 divided by 100 is .235

Another example

4%=.04

Why?

4. divided by 100 is .04

Answer 2

The decimal form of 43% is 0.43 because you have to move the decimal 2 spaces to the right
