96% as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Converting percentages to decimals is a straightforward process. First, it's essential to understand both percentages and decimals. A percentage is a way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100. For example, 96% means 96 out of 100. A decimal is a number that uses the base ten and includes a decimal point to separate the whole part from the fractional part. Converting from a percentage to a decimal involves moving the decimal point two places to the left.
