It is easy to convert percents to decimals and decimals to percents. For example, to convert a percent to a decimal, you drop the percent sign (%) and move the decimal point two places to the left. That’s all there is to it. Remember that in a whole number, the decimal point comes at the end. For example,
2.5% = 0.025
4% = 0.04
36% = 0.36
111% = 1.11
To convert a decimal to a percent, you move the decimal point two places to the right and add a percent sign (%):
0.07 = 7%
0.21 = 21%
0.375 = 37.5%
