In order to convert a percent to the decimal, the number should be divided by 100 and remove the percentage sign.

Explanation:

Percent stands for per hundred.

In order to convert a percent to the decimal, the number should be divided by 100 and remove the percentage sign.

Example – 75%

= 75/100

= 0.75

To convert decimal to mixed fraction:

1. Divide the given decimal number by the place of the decimal and remove the point from the numerator.

Example – 5.25

= 525/100

2. Simplify the fraction if possible.

Example = 525/100 = 21/4

3. Divide the numerator by the denominator.

On solving we get, 5 as the quotient and 1 as the remainder.

To convert into a mixed fraction = the remainder becomes the numerator and denominator remains the same

Mixed fraction becomes = 5 1/4
