Question

Rewrite this percent. 50%=0.5

1a. 12%
1b. 18.6%
1c. 2.5%

Answer 1

1a. 12% = 0.12

1b. 18.6% = 0.186

1c. 2.5% = 0.025

Explanation:

When converting a percentage, simply move the decimal point, two spaces to the left! Remember, "cent," means 100. So, that's two zeros. So, move your decimal point two zeros to the right.

12.0% = 0.12

18.6% = 0.186

02.5% = 0.025%

(The added zeros, on the left side of the equal signs, are just to show the decimal movement)
