Question

What is 97.5% converted to decimal?

Answer 1

`97.5% = 0.975`

Explanation:

By definition, a percent is a value given out of 100.

Therefore `97.5% = 97.5/100`

Fractions with denominators that are powers of `10` can be written as decimals.

`97.5/100 = 0.975`

Or to make it clearer, get rid of the decimal in the numerator

`97.5/100 xx 10/10 = 975/1000 = 0.975`
