When converting a whole percent to a decimal, make an imaginary decimal at the end of the number and move the decimal place two positions to the left.
If the percentage has a decimal in it already, then use the existing decimal as your starting point. Then move it two positions to the left.
148%
1.48
FYI- If you want to convert a decimal to a percent, just move the decimal point two units to the right.
