130% as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to understand percentages and decimals. A percentage represents a part of a hundred. It is a way to express a number as a fraction of 100, using the symbol %. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that are not whole, using a dot (.) 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.
