Why should there be percentages when a number can be expressed as a fraction or a decimal?
Decimals and percentages are easier to compare than fractions - particularly if they are unlike fractions. That does not explain why percentages are required when we have decimal number and there is no good answer to that!
How do you change percentages to numbers?
Remove the percentage sign and divide by 100. In decimal form, it means simply move the decimal point two spaces to the left.
What is the decimal of 10.6 percent?
Divide percentages by 100 to get the decimal equivalent. So, 10.6 / 100 = 0.106
What is a 155 percent into a decimal?
Divide percentages by 100 to get the decimal equivalent. So, 155 / 100 = 1.55
How are a decimal and a percent the same?
both signify a part of a whole. percentages are based on 100 being 1 so 100% is 1 whole thing. 1 whole thing with decimals is 1.00. You can change from decimals to percentages by moving the decimal 2 places to the right and percentages to decimals by moving the decimal 2 places to the left.
