Decimals and Percents Goal: Change a percent to a decimal Multiply decimals

Percent comes from the Latin per centum, or “per hundred” Consequently, a number such as 32% can be written as “32 per hundred” or the fraction 32/100. This fraction is equivalent to the decimal Percent – is a ratio of a number to 100.

Percent to decimal 50% = ÷ 100 =.50 Move the decimal point two (2) places to the left (this divides the number by 100)
