<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn percentages and decimals. A percentage represents a part out of a hundred. It is used to express how large or small one quantity is relative to another quantity. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that are not whole, using a (.) or decimal point to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.</p>
