112% as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a straightforward question about converting percentages to decimals. To understand this, we need to be familiar with percentages and decimals. A percentage represents a number out of 100. The term "percent" means per hundred. A decimal is a way to represent 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.
