19% as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Before we get started, it's essential to understand percentages and decimals. A percentage is a way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100, denoted by the symbol %. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a 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.

Answer

To convert 19% to a decimal, you need to divide by 100. Let's break down the process step by step:

 

Step 1: Understand that the percentage symbol (%) means "per 100." Therefore, 19% means 19 per 100.

 

Step 2: To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide the percentage value by 100. In this case, divide 19 by 100.

 

Step 3: Perform the division: 19 ÷ 100 = 0.19.

 

Step 4: The result, 0.19, is the decimal representation of 19%.
