Question

People with severe hearing loss were given a sentence and word recognition test six months after they got implants in their ears. The patients scored an average of 82% on the test. Write this percent as a decimal.

Answer 1

.82

When changing a percentage to a decimal you will divide the number by 100. 82/100= .82

To change it back to percentage you will take .82 and multiply by 100 or simply move the decimal two stops to the right, making 82. or 82%
