Answer 1

Example :When we divide 50 by 100 we get 0.5 (a decimal number). So, to convert from percent to decimal: divide by 100, and remove the "%" sign.

Answer 2

Divide a percent by 100 and remove the percent sign to convert from a percent to a decimal. 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.

example: 3.25% = 3.25 over 100 or,
3.25%=3.25100
3.25
%
=
3.25
100
3.25 over 100 is the same as 3.25 divided by 100. Completing the division we get:

3.25 ÷ 100 = 0.0325

Therefore, we have shown that

3.25% = 0.0325
