To convert a percentage to a decimal, we must divide the number in front of the percentage sign by 100.

To demonstrate, let's convert the following percentage to a decimal:

15 \%

We need to divide 15 by 100. To divide a number by 100, we move the decimal point two places to the left: 15 \div 100 = 0.15

Therefore, we conclude that 15 \% expressed as a decimal is 0.15.

What is 8.7 \% as a decimal?

EXPLANATION

To convert 8.7 \% into a decimal, we divide 8.7 by 100.

Remember that to divide a number by 100, we move the decimal point two places to the left: 8.7 \div 100 = 0.087

So, 8.7 \% is the same as 0.087.

Express 180 \% as a decimal.

EXPLANATION

To convert 180 \% into a decimal, we divide 180 by 100.

Remember that to divide a number by 100, we move the decimal point two places to the left: 180 \div 100 = 1.8

So, 180 \% is the same as 1.8.

To convert a decimal into a percentage, we need to multiply the decimal by 100.

To demonstrate, let's convert the following decimal to a percentage:

0.65

We need to multiply 0.65 by 100. Now, to multiply a number by 100, we move the decimal point two places to the right: 0.65 \times 100 = 65

Finally, we write the result using the percent sign. So, 0.65 is the same as 65\%.

FLAG

Convert 0.7 to a percentage.

EXPLANATION

To convert 0.7 into a percent, we multiply it by 100.

Remember that to multiply a number by 100, we move the decimal point two places to the right: 0.7 \times 100 = 70

Finally, we write the result using the percent sign. So, our final answer is 70 \%.

What is 1.65 expressed as a percentage?

EXPLANATION

To convert 1.65 into a percentage, we multiply it by 100.

Remember that to multiply a number by 100, we move the decimal point two places to the right: 1.65 \times 100 = 165

Finally, we write the result using the percent sign. So, our final answer is 165 \%.
