In mathematics, a percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. It is often denoted using the percent sign, "%", or the abbreviations "pct.", "pct"; sometimes the abbreviation "pc" is also used. A percentage is a dimensionless number (pure number).

A decimal numeral, or just decimal, or, improperly decimal number, refers generally to the notation of a number in the decimal system, which contains a decimal separator (for example 10.00 or 3.14159). Sometimes these terms are used for any numeral in the decimal system. A decimal may also refer to any digit after the decimal separator, such as in "3.14 is the approximation of π to two decimals".

How to convert percent to decimal

  1. Remove the percent sign and directly divide the numerator by 100.

  2. 2% = 2/100 = 0.02
    5% = 5/100 = 0.05
    17% = 17/100 = 0.17
    125% = 125/100 = 1.25
