196% as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a straightforward topic on converting percentages to decimals. To understand this, we must first grasp the concept of percentages and decimals. A percentage represents a portion out of 100. The term "percent" means "per hundred." A decimal is a number expressed in the base ten, using a decimal point to separate the whole part from the fractional part. Numbers to the left of the decimal point represent whole numbers, while those to the right represent fractions.
