It is important to note that a percentage is a ratio of parts per hundred.
Thusly, 9.7% is 9.7 parts out of 100.
This can be expressed as a fraction:
9.7 ÷ 100 = 0.097
For a quick shortcut, you can just move the decimal point two places to the left to convert to percentage from decimal.

A percentage is a part per hundred. Divide 9.7 by 100 to get a decimal equivalent of a percentage.

9.7% = (9.7/100) = (97/1000) = .097
or just move the decimal 2 places to the left.

Move the decimal two spaces to the left and drop the % sign.

Remember:
1 = 100%
Therefore,
1/100% = 1
Multiply this value (w/c is equal to 1), cancel the %.
= 9.7%
= 9.7% (1)
= 9.7% (1/100%)
= 0.097
