Question #33764

Answer 1

To convert any percent into a decimal, shift the decimal two places to the left.

Explanation:

3.75% will become .0375 since it represents the ratio `3.75/100` or `375/10000`.

Give yourself some confidence boosters like 50% = `50/100` or .5

and maybe 2% = `2/100` or .02.

Don't let the .75 part throw you off! Think about 3% and4% being .0300 and.0400...... Does .0375 lie between those numbers?
