98% as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Understanding how to convert percentages to decimals is a basic yet essential skill. Learning about percentages and decimals is crucial. A percentage represents a part out of 100. Decimals, on the other hand, are a way to express 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.
