To write a percent as a decimal, first remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100. We can think of 75% as the ratio [tex]\frac{75}{100}[/tex] or 75 ÷ 100. Remember that dividing by 100 moves the decimal point 2 places to the left. 75 ÷ 100 would move the decimal point 2 places to the left, which would give us .075 or .75. Therefore, 75% can be written as the decimal 0.75
