Write 150% as a decimal

Step by step

The question

Question: write 150% as a decimal.

1 Write it over 100

Percent means out of 100.

So 150% is 150/100.

Careful!

150% is more than 100%.

So the decimal is more than 1.

2 Write the decimal

100 has 2 zeros.

So the decimal has 2 digits after the point.

150 hundredths is 1.5.

The short way: the point moves 2 places to the left.

3 Check

Let's check: go back.

1.5 is 15 tenths.

That is 150/100.

So it is 150%.

So the answer is right!

Let's look back.

First: write it over 100.

Then: write the decimal.

Last: check.
