since there are 100 cents in a dollar, each cent is one percent of a dollar. the decimal value is the number of cents. $1.20 is 1.2 dollars (or whatever your currency is, if it is decimal based).
"Decimal" means that the number system is based on ten. Thus, ten pennies in a dime, ten dimes in a dollar.

Do you mean why do some people put a decimal point instead of a comma to mark the groupings of big numbers such as money? That is a really vague question.

Yes money is usually expressed in decimal notation.
In the same way as questions are normally expressed in English

a decimal is just a fractional multiple of ten. so anything before the decimal point is dollars and after is cents. Money is decimals!
