How to Convert From Percent to Decimal
Often a percent value needs to be converted to decimal form to allow it to be used in other equations. The decimal form does not have the % symbol.
Since percent literally means “per 100,” converting to decimal form is as simple as dividing the percentage by 100 and removing the % symbol.
There are two simple ways to convert a percent to decimal. The first is to use a formula, and the second is to shift the decimal point.
Percent to Decimal Formula
To convert from percent to decimal, use the following formula:
decimal = percent / 100
Thus, the decimal value is equal to the percent value divided by 100.
Shift the Decimal Point
The second method to convert a percent to decimal is simply moving the decimal point to the left two places and removing the percent symbol. For example:
27.5% = 0.275
Notice that in the example above, the decimal point was shifted to the left two places.
Example: convert 48.5% to a decimal
decimal = percent / 100
decimal = 48.5 / 100
decimal = .485
