It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn percentages and decimals. A percentage represents a part out of 100. To convert a percentage to a decimal, we divide by 100. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is 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.
