83% as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a simple question on decimal conversion. Understanding percentages and decimals is essential. A percentage represents a part of a hundred. The symbol '%' denotes a percentage, which is a way to express a fraction of 100. 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. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.

83% as a DecimalAnswer

 

83% in decimals can be written as 0.83.

Step 1: Write 83% as a fraction, which is 83/100.

 

Step 2: Divide 83 by 100 to convert the fraction into a decimal.

 

Step 3: Perform the division, 83 ÷ 100 = 0.83.

 

Thus, 83% as a decimal is 0.83.
