To change a percentage into a decimal, just pretend there is a decimal at the end of the percentage and move it two places to the left.
So we have 15.
Step 1:
Put a decimal at the end of the number
15.
Step 2:
Move that decimal two places to the left, or two numbers to the left.
.15
Now, .15 is your answer. With any two digit percentage, you can simply stick a decimal infront of the percentage, and that's your answer.
Like...
22%=.22
95%=.95
69%=.69
Now, let's try a one number percentage.
Say, we have 5%. We need 5% in decimal form.
Step one:
Put a decimal after the number
5.
Step two:
Move that decimal over two places to the left.
.05
If there is no number before the first number to move the decimal before, simply put a zero there.
For any one digit percentage, you can simply put a decimal and a zero before the number!
Like..
2%=.02
3%=.03
4%=.04
