To convert a percent to a decimal, you move the the decimal left two places to convert the percent to a decimal. For example, if you were to convert 14% to a decimal, you move the decimal left two places so that 14% converted to a decimal would look something like this: 0.14

Percent means per 100 so 40% 40 per 100, or simply 40/100

When we divide 40 by 100 we get 0.4 which is a decimal number.

to convert from percent to decimal you have to divide by 100, and then remove the % sign.
