<p>Converting percentages to decimals is a simple task. First, we need to understand what percentages and decimals are. A percentage represents a part out of 100. It is denoted by the symbol (%). A decimal is a way to represent numbers that are not whole, using a (.) or a 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>
