106% as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn about percentages and decimals. A percentage represents a part out of 100. It indicates how many parts out of 100 are being considered. 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.
