Question

Explain and demonstrate how to convert 17% to a decimal

Answer 1

17% as a decimal is 0.17. Think about it like you would normally 17/100 and 0.17/1.00

That’s the best way I can explain it, hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer: 0.17
Explanation: Divide a percent by 100 and remove the percent sign to convert from a percent to a decimal.

Example: 10% becomes 10/100 = 0.10
Example: 67.5% becomes 67.5/100 = 0.675
