CONVERSION FROM PERCENTAGE TO DECIMAL

CONVERTING PERCENTAGE TO DECIMAL NUMBERS


Example.1)    12 % = ?

 

                      12

Ans.)      ---------  =   0.12        

               100                                                                                  

 ( We can observe that, 12 is built with two digit 1 & 2, where divisor 100  has two zero ‘0’ then the position of point must be two places left from 2 ‘Ones’. So, the number must be 0.12 )            (Ans.)

 

                                                                          

Example.2)  147 %  = ?

 

                     147

Ans.)      ----------  =     1.47      

                100                                                                                 

( We can observe that, 147 is built with three digit 1, 4 & 7, where divisor 100 has two zero ‘0’ then the position of point must be two places left from 7 ‘Ones’. So, the number must be 1.47 )            (Ans.)
