131% as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a simple question about converting percentages to decimals. Firstly, we need to understand percentages and decimals. A percentage represents a fraction out of 100. It is a way to express a number as a part of a whole based on 100 parts. A decimal, on the other hand, is a way to express numbers that are not whole, using a decimal point to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
