#0.38 = 38/100 =38%#

Decimal can be written as fractions which have denominators as powers of #10#

#0.5 = 5/10, " "0.75 = 75/100, " "0.007 = 7/1000# and so on.

#0.38# has 2 decimal places, so the denominator is #10^2 = 100#

#0.38 = 38/100" "larr# This is exactly the form of a percent

As a percent is a fraction out of #100#, we have the answer.

#0.38 = 38/100 =38%#
