Answer:

0.0224

Explanation:

There are 3 ways to get, this Answer And I will show you them! :D

1st way :)

Percent" means "per 100" or "over 100". To convert 2.24% to a decimal rewrite 2.24 percent in terms of per 100 or over 100.

2.24% = 2.24 over 100 or
(2.24)/(100)

2.24 over 100 is the same as 2.24 divided by 100. Completing the division we get:

2.24 ÷ 100 = 0.0224

Therefore, we have shown that

2.24% = 0.0224

2nd way :D

Remove the percent sign % and divide by 100.

2.24 ÷ 100 = 0.0224

3rd way :P

Move the decimal point 2 places to the left and remove the percent sign %

2.24% becomes 0.0224

And Here's a tip↓

⇒The shortcut way to convert from a percentage to a decimal is by removing the percent sign and moving the decimal point 2 places to the left.

Hope this Helps!
