340% as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Converting percentages to decimals is a straightforward mathematical process. A percentage represents a part out of 100. To convert a percentage to a decimal, you divide by 100. This moves the decimal point two places to the left. Decimals provide 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.
