How do you write a percent into a decimal?115.9%

For these kinds of questions, you have to know that 100%=1.0


So, to put it simply, you have to get rid of the % sign and then move the decimal points 2 times to the left.


115.9% is equal to 100%+15.9%


so, as mentioned before, 100% is equal to 1, 115.9% is 1+15.9%


15.9%, if the decimal point is moved twice to the left, is equal to 0.159 in decimal points.


To total up,


115.9%=100%+15.9%


=1+0.159


=1.159


To do it another way, just divide this by 100%


So, this way, it will be:


115.9%/100%


=115.9/100


=1+15.9/100


=1+ 159/1000


=1+0.159


=1.159
