math gurus can you change this percent into a decimal 0.9%?

Question

your help is appreciated

can you tell me how you got the answer?

Answer 1

It's 0.009, ...just move the decimal point two places to the left.

Normally when converting a % with a whole number (i.e. 1, 2, 3, etc. with no decimal point) you'd drop the percent and divide by 100, or another way is simply replace the % with a decimal point and move it to the left two places. Either way you get the same result.

So if you had 7% it would be 7/100 or 0.07 when converted to a decimal place.

If the % already has a decimal point, such as the 0.9% you mention, then all you have to do is move the existing decimal point two places to the left to convert the percentage to a standard decimal number.

Answer 2

To change percent into a decimal, simply move the decimal point 2 places to the left. So 0.9% would turn into .009

Another example is that 90% would become 0.9



Conversely, to change a decimal to a percent, move the decimal point 2 places to the right. For example, 0.358 would turn into 35.8%, and 0.0091 would turn into 0.91%

After practice, you will be able to do this automatically.

Answer 3

understand that p.c. = consistent with a hundred. So a p.c. is a factor of a hundred from the decimal extensive type. Take 2000% shrink it by a factor of a hundred (or flow the decimal over 2 spots, you have 20.00. As a fragment, considering that is an integer may well be 20.00/a million or 20/a million or 20. As with 500% shrink it, you have 5.00. As a fragment it would be 5.00/a million or 5/a million or 5

Answer 4

well, 90% to a decimal would be .9. you move the decimal the the right two, so .9% would be .009

Answer 5

It's just like any other percentage. You divide by 100% so:
0.9%/100% = .009

Answer 6

0 . 9 % = 0 . 9 / 100 = 0 . 009

Answer 7

.009

just divide your percent by 100. after all, .9% just means .9/100

Answer 8

.009

.01 is 1%, add a 0 and you get a ninth of a percent

Answer 9

0.9%=0.9/100
=0.009ANS.
