720% as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Understanding how to convert percentages into decimals is essential. A percentage represents a part per hundred. To convert a percentage to a decimal, you divide by 100. This process helps in expressing the number in a different form, which can be useful in various mathematical operations. A decimal separates the whole number from the fractional part using a decimal point. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole part, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
