84% as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a simple question on converting percentages to decimals. First, we need to understand percentages and decimals. A percentage is a way to express a number as a fraction of 100. It represents parts per hundred. A decimal is a representation of 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.
