What is 3/10 as a decimal and percent

Input the percent value that you would like to convert to a decimal. This calculator divides by 100 to convert percents to decimal values.

How to Convert a Percent to a Decimal

Divide a percent by 100 and remove the percent sign to convert from a percent to a decimal.

• Example: 10% becomes 10/100 = 0.10
• Example: 67.5% becomes 67.5/100 = 0.675

The shortcut way to convert from a percentage to a decimal is by removing the percent sign and moving the decimal point 2 places to the left.

Express 50% as a decimal

"Percent" means "per 100" or "over 100". So, to convert 50% to a decimal we rewrite 50 percent in terms of "per 100" or over 100.

50% = 50 over 100 or,

50/100 is the same as 50 divided by 100.

Completing the division we get:
