0.535 is a fractional number in decimal form and there is no sensible way to turn it into a whole number.
You have to turn the percentage into a decimal.
The difference is that all whole numbers are decimal numbers, but not all decimal numbers are whole numbers. For example a whole number such as 1 is a decimal number but a decimal number such as 1.5 is not a whole number.
No. A whole number is a number with no fractional (decimal) part. Therefore a decimal number can not be a whole number. Another view: 35.0 is a whole number AND a decimal. The fact that a number is a decimal does not automatically require it to have a fractional part. Even 35 is a decimal number (without a decimal point).
Move the decimal point two places to the right and add a % sign.
you turn the decimal into a fraction then you turn the fraction into a whole number and add a percent sign

You have to turn the percentage into a decimal.
Keep the whole-number-part exactly as it is, and re-write the decimal part as a fraction.
To get a percent into a decimal, divide by 100.
Decimal percentage, move the decimal point to the right two places, and then add a percentage sign; fraction into percentage, you can first turn the fraction into a decimal, and then turn the fraction into a percentage, or you can turn the fraction into a fraction whose denominator is 100, and directly rewrite it into a percentage!
You wouldn't. That's a whole number.

You can't change a whole number to a decimal. A decimal and a whole number are both numbers. A decimal is just a number lower than a whole number, or a number in between two whole numbers.
Take your percent, 41% and move the decimal two places, right to turn it into a "whole number". Your answer is 0.41
Move the decimal point two places to the right and add a % sign.
