The term I learned was "vinculum." The same term (and symbol) has other meanings in mathematics as well; as far as I know there isn't a specific term that ONLY means the bar used to indicate a repeating decimal.

What is 33.3 percent repeating as a decimal?

Answer = .3 with a bar above the 3 or .3 (3 repeating) or even ~.333 (if precision isn't very important). Note: Whenever you have a number in % or "percent" that you want to convert to a decimal number, simply divide the % number by 100 (for example: 33.3 % / 100 = .333). IF the % number is known to be repeating (for example 1/3=.3 repeating=33.3% (repeating)), then you can express the percent number in decimal as .3 with a bar above the 3 or as .3 (repeating) or even ~.333 (where "~" means "approximately). All are valid expressions of 33.3 % (repeating).
