Changing Percents to Decimals

Preview

Changing percents to decimals is really easy to understand and to do.The first step is that we need to have a percent so let's take the percent 23% and let's make this into a decimal. To make 23% into a decimal you have to first make the percent into a fraction like this:
23% = 23 
           100
And now to make it into a decimal you have to divide the numerator by the denominator like this:

 23  =         __.23___ = 0.23
100     100/ 230
                   200
                     300
                     300
                        x
So now we know that the decimal number for 23% is 0.23.
