500% as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Understanding percentage to decimal conversion is straightforward. A percentage is a way to express a number as a fraction of 100. It is often used to compare ratios or proportions. To convert a percentage to a decimal, you divide by 100. A decimal is a representation of a number that shows values less than a whole, using a decimal point to separate the whole number from the fractional part. The whole number is to the left of the decimal point, while the fractional part is to the right.
