How to Convert Percent to Decimal

In this short math lesson we will go over how to convert a percent to a decimal. Converting percentages to decimals is a shot process and can be done without any calculator. All you need to do is divide your percentage by 100, so if you have 23% and you want it as a decimal, just divide by 100. In that case, you would have 0.23. Dividing by 100 will have the effect of moving the decimal place over two place values to the left. Percentage means out of 100, so it is easy to see why 23% should be 0.23, which is 23 hundredths.
