Converting From Percent to Decimal

Percent means "per 100", so 50% means 50 per 100, or simply

When we divide 50 by 100 we get 0.5 (a decimal number).

So, to convert from percent to decimal: divide by 100, and remove the "%" sign.

The Easy Way

The easy way to divide by 100 is to move the decimal point 2 places to the left, so:

From Percent

To Decimal

move the decimal point 2 places to the left,
and remove the "%" sign

Example: Convert 8.5% to decimal

Move the decimal point two places to the left: 8.5 → 0.85 → 0.085

(Note how we inserted an extra "0" as needed)

Answer 8.5% = 0.085

Example: Convert 250% to decimal

Move the decimal point two places to the left: 250. → 25. → 2.5

Answer 250% = 2.5

Multiply the Decimal Number by 100%

This is safe to do because 100% = 1, and multiplying by 1 does not change the value.

Example: Convert 0.125 to percent

Multiply 0.125 by 100%:

0.125 × 100% = 12.5%

Don't forget the % sign!

Answer 0.125 = 12.5%

The easy way to multiply by 100 is to move the decimal point 2 places to the right. so:

From Decimal

To Percent

move the decimal point 2 places to the right
(and add the "%" sign!)

More Examples:

Example: Convert 0.35 to percent

Move the decimal point two places to the right: 0.35 → 3.5 → 35%

Answer 0.35 = 35%

Example: Convert 0.985 to percent

Move the decimal point two places to the right: 0.985 → 9.85 → 98.5%

Answer 0.985 = 98.5%

You may also need to add zeros on the right to move the decimal point:

Example: Convert 1.2 to percent

Move the decimal point two places to the right: 1.2 → 12. → 120.%

Answer 1.2 = 120%

Why

These all mean the same thing:

0.5 (half) of the box is green.

50 of the 100 squares are green,

50 100 of the box is green,

50% of the box is green.

So 0.5 (a decimal number) = 50% (a percentage)

The "%" tells you that there is a hidden "/100" there.

Another example:

0.25 (a quarter) of the box is green.

25 of the 100 squares are green,

25 100 of the box is green,

25% of the box is green.

So 0.25 (a decimal number) = 25% (a percentage)
