Question 241616
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.
