188% as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on percent to decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to understand percentages and decimals. A percentage represents a part per hundred. It has a single value, here 188, which represents how many parts out of 100. 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.
