Divide the percentage by $100$ $100$

When you divide the percentage by $100$ $100$ , you get the decimal notation.

e.g.

$\frac{100}{100}$ $100/100$ $=$ $=$ $1$ $1$ or $1.0$ $1.0$

$\frac{75}{100}$ $75/100$ $=$ $=$ $.75$ $.75$

$\frac{50}{100}$ $50/100$ $=$ $=$ $.5$ $.5$ or $.50$ $.50$

$\frac{25}{100}$ $25/100$ $=$ $=$ $.25$ $.25$

$\frac{0}{100}$ $0/100$ $=$ $=$ $0$ $0$

Multiply the decimal notation by $100$ $100$ to get the percentage.
