This topic focuses on converting percentages to decimals, a fundamental concept in mathematics. A percentage represents a part per hundred. In this case, 65% means 65 out of 100. To convert a percentage to a decimal, we need to understand the relationship between percentages and decimals. A decimal is a fraction whose denominator is a power of ten, and it uses a decimal point to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole part, while the numbers to the right represent the fractional part.
