Question

In a parking lot, 43% of the cars have GPS. express this percent as a decimal.

Answer 1

.43 is the answer for this problem

Answer 2

Answer: 0.43

Think of 43% as 43.0%

Move the decimal 2 spots to the left to go from 43.0 to 0.43

Alternatively, use a calculator to find that 43% = 43/100 = 0.43

"percent" means "per 100", so that's why we're dividing over 100.
