Answer:

There are multiple ways to do so:

You can divide the number by 100 to convert it to a decimal

You could take your percentage and add a decimal two places to the left.

Examples of both:

For division its as simple as 75 divided by 100 = 0.75

If we are going to use the decimal method, lets say we have 45%, so we can do this:

45% =45.00

Move the decimal two places to the left.

0.45
