Example Question #1 : How To Find Decimal Equivalent To A Percentage

Solve the problem and convert the answer to a percentage.

$\small 1.18-0.30 = \square$

Possible Answers:

$12\%$

$0\small .30\%$

$\small 1.48\%$

$86\%$

$\small 88\%$

Correct answer:

$\small 88\%$

Explanation:

$\small 1.18 -0.30 = 0.88$ . To convert $\small .88$ to a percentage, the decimal is moved two places to the right, resulting in $\small 88\%$ .

Alternatively, we would have converted the decimals to percetages from the beginnging. $\small 118\% - 30\% = 88\%$ , to do this we started with the decimal numbers given and moved the decimal point to the right two places.

Example Question #1 : How To Find Decimal Equivalent To A Percentage

Convert this percentage to a decimal.

$45.29\%$

Possible Answers:

$0\small .6504$

$\small 452.9$

$\small 4.529$

0.423

$0\small .4529$

Correct answer:

$0\small .4529$

Explanation:

Given the percentage $\small 43.29\%$ , the decimal point must be moved two decimal places to the left, resulting in 0.4329.

This decimal can further be written as fraction,

$\small \frac{4329}{10,000}$ which when reduced $\small = \frac{43.29}{100}$ .

Since percentages represent part of a whole, or part of 100, 43.29 is the final answer.

Example Question #1 : How To Find Decimal Equivalent To A Percentage

Convert the answer to a decimal.

$\small \small \small 100\% - 38\% - 12\% = ?$

Possible Answers:

$0\small .5$

0.8

$0\small .66$

$0\small .33$

Correct answer:

$0\small .5$

Explanation:

First we must solve the problem:

$\small \small 100\% - 38\% - 12\% = 50\%$ .

Now to convert the percentage to a decimal all we do is move the decimal point two decimal places to the left. In this case, we began with $\small 50.0$ . After moving the decimal point we end up with $\small 0.500$ as our result.

Example Question #51 : Decimals And Percentage

Convert $\small 18.29\%$ to a decimal.

Possible Answers:

$0\small .1829$

$\small 1829$

$\small 182.9$

$0\small .01829$

Correct answer:

$0\small .1829$

Explanation:

To convert a percentage to a decimal, we simply move the decimal point two places to the left.

Alternatively, to convert from a decimal to a percentage, we would move the decimal place two decimal places the right.

But in this case, we are going from percentage to a decimal, so starting with $\small 18.29\%$ , moving the decimal places two places to the left would leave us with $0\small .1829.$

Another way to solve is to divide the percentage by one hundred:

$\frac{18.29}{100}=0.1829$

This is our answer.
