Write 35% as a decimal

Step by step

The question

Question: write 35% as a decimal.

1 Write it over 100

Percent means out of 100.

So 35% is 35/100.

2 Write the decimal

100 has 2 zeros.

So the decimal has 2 digits after the point.

35 hundredths is 0.35.

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

3 Check

Let's check: go back.

0.35 is 35 hundredths.

So it is 35%.

So the answer is right!

Let's look back.

First: write it over 100.

Then: write the decimal.

Last: check.
