Convert 75% to a decimal.

• A. 0.54
• B. 0.75
• C. 7.5
• D. 0.0075

Answer: (B)

Percent means per hundred. To convert a percent to a decimal, divide by 100 or move the decimal point two places to the left. For 75%, move the decimal two places left to get 0.75. So the decimal form is 0.75. The other options represent different percentages: 0.54 is 54%, 7.5 would be 750%, and 0.0075 is 0.75%.
