How to Convert Percent to Decimal?

We are going to show you two methods to change a percentage to decimal notation.

It is noteworthy that the steps in the second procedure can be carried out without a calculator.

Method 1

Take away the % sign, then divide the percent by 100:

For example: 40%

40% → 40

40 → 40/100

40/100 = 0.4

40% to decimal = 0.4

Method 2

Remove the % symbol, next move the decimal point 2 places to the left:

For example: 55.8%

55.8% → 55.8

55.8 → 5.58 → 0.558

55.8% to decimal = 0.558

Additional Information

For the second approach to work, you may need to insert a decimal point and zeroes as needed.

For example: 7%:

7: percent sign removed
0.7: “.” and first “0” inserted; decimal digit has been moved one place to the left
0.07: second “0” inserted; decimal digit has been moved two places to the left

7% to decimal = 0.07
