HOW TO CONVERT PERCENT TO DECIMAL

What is percent ?

In mathematics, a percentage is a number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100. If we have to calculate percent of a number, divide the number by whole and multiply by 100.

Hence, the percentage means, a part per hundred. The word per cent means per 100. It represented by the symbol “%”

Problem 1 :

135%

Solution :

= 135%

= 135 ÷ 100

Since we have two zeroes at the denominator, we move the decimal two digits backward.

135= 1.35

Problem 2 :

18.4%

Solution :

= 18.4%

= 18.4 ÷ 100

Since we have two zeroes at the denominator, we move the decimal two digits forward.

= 0.184

Problem 3 :

42.5%

Solution :

= 42.5%

= 42.5 ÷ 100

Since we have two zeroes at the denominator, we move the decimal two digits forward.

= 0.425

Problem 4 :

37.5%

Solution :

= 37.5%

= 37.5 ÷ 100

Since we have two zeroes at the denominator, we move the decimal two digits forward.

= 0.375

Problem 5 :

46.4%

Solution :

= 46.4%

= 46.4 ÷ 100

Since we have two zeroes at the denominator, we move the decimal two digits forward.

= 0.464

Problem 6 :

9  1/2%

Solution :

= 9  1/2%

Mixed fractions is convert to the improper fractions.

= 19/2%

= 9.5 ÷ 100

Since we have two zeroes at the denominator, we move the decimal one digits forward.

= 0.095

Problem 7 :

6  2/3%

Solution :

= 6  2/3%

Mixed fractions is convert to the improper fractions.

= 20/3%

= 6.7 ÷ 100

Since we have two zeroes at the denominator, we move the decimal one digits forward.

= 0.067

Problem 8 :

8  1/2%

Solution :

= 8  1/2%

Mixed fractions is convert to the improper fractions.

= 17/2%

= 8.5 ÷ 100

Since we have two zeroes at the denominator, we move the decimal one digits forward.

= 0.085

Problem 9 :

7.8%

Solution :

= 7.8%

= 7.8 ÷ 100

Since we have two zeroes at the denominator, we move the decimal one digits forward.

= 0.078

Problem 10 :

21.4%

Solution :

= 21.4%

= 21.4 ÷ 100

Since we have two zeroes at the denominator, we move the decimal two digits forward.

= 0.214
