A worked example

What is 95%95\% written as a decimal?
  1. The word ``percent'' means ``per hundred.''\\So 95%95\% means 95 per 100.
  2. To convert a percent to a decimal, divide by 100.\\Dividing by 100 moves the decimal point two places to the left.
  3. Every whole number has a decimal point: 95=95.095.0→95 = 95.0\\95.0 \to0.95
  4. The correct answer is 0.95
