You simply move the decimal point which is assumed, but not written at the end of the percent to the left two places.

Example: 24 percent is 24. percent, and moving the decimal point two places to the left, is .24, but is no longer a percent. It is usual to add a 'zero' to the left of the decimal point, so it becomes, '0.24', or 24 one hundredths, which is 24/100.

By the way, 'percent' is another way to write 'per cent'. 'Cent' stands for '100'.

So, 24 percent is really like saying, "24 per one-hundred".

How do find the percent and fraction of a decimal?

to find the percent of a decimal, you would move the decimal over to the right twice and that's the percent. To find the fraction of a decimal, you would remove the decimal, put the number on top of the fration, and you would put, at the bottom, of the decimal as many zeros at the bottom of the fraction and put a 1 in front. for example 22.6. You would take out the decimal. Put 3 zeros at the bottom of the decimal because their are three numbers in 226 and put a 1 in front of the zeros
