Answer 1

To change a percent to a decimal, we divide the percent value by 100. The decimal form is obtained by moving the decimal point two places to the left. For example, 50% becomes 0.5, 0.6% becomes 0.006, and 500% becomes 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 50% = 0.5
2. 0.6% = 0.006
3. 500% = 5
4. 12.5% = 0.125
5. 137% = 1.37
6. 7.5% = 0.075
