Hello Pedram,
Percent means 'per hundred,' so 89% equals 89 divided by 100. If you divide 89 by 100, you get .89. In conclusion, to turn a percent into a number, divide by 100 and remove the '%' sign. To turn a percent into a number, you could also move the decimal two places to the left and remove the '%' sign.
Thanks for your question,
Rob
