If the sales tax in a town is 2.34
percent, express the percentage as a decimal.
We know that the word percent means out
of 100. This means that in order to convert any
percentage into a decimal, we need to divide by 100. In this question, we need to divide
2.34 by 100. As all of our digits move two places to
the right, this is equal to 0.0234. The sales tax, 2.34 percent, expressed
as a decimal is 0.0234.
