115% as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Converting percentages to decimals is a straightforward process. Before diving into it, it's essential to understand what a percentage is. A percentage represents a part out of 100. Converting a percentage to a decimal involves removing the percent sign (%) and dividing the number by 100. Decimals allow us to express parts of a whole using base ten, with a decimal point separating the whole number 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.
