250% as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a simple question about converting percentages to decimals. To begin, it's important to understand the concepts of percentages and decimals. A percentage represents parts per hundred, denoted by the symbol %. A decimal is a way to express numbers that are not whole, using a decimal point to separate the whole number part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole part, while those to the right signify the fractional part.
