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.)
