Remember that "per cent" literally means "divided by a hundred", so you asked what "79.2%" or "79.2 ÷ 100" is. Dividing by ten moves the decimal point one place to the left (making the number smaller -- from 79.2 to 7.92) and dividing by 100 is equivalent to dividing by 10 twice, or .792.
Once you remember that "per cent" is Latin for "divided by 100", you'll realize that most "percent problems" are problems no more.
Good luck.
