147% as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The conversion of percentages to decimals is a straightforward task. To begin, we need to understand percentages and decimals. A percentage represents a part out of 100. It is a way to express a number as a fraction of 100 using the percent symbol (%). A decimal is a way to represent numbers that are not whole, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole part from the fractional part. Numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
