14% as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a simple question on converting percentages to decimals. Firstly, we need to understand percentages and decimals. A percentage represents a part out of 100. When converting a percentage to a decimal, you divide by 100. A decimal is a way of representing numbers that are not whole, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole part from the fraction part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, while those to the right represent the fractional part.
