To write a percent as a decimal, first remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100. Let's say we wanted to convert 82% to a decimal. We can think of 82% as the ratio 82 to 100 or 82 ÷ 100. When we divide by 100, it moves the decimal point 2 places to the left so 82 ÷ 100 would move the decimal point 2 places to the left which would give us .82. Therefore, 82% would = 0.82.
