To convert from percent to decimal, divide by 100 (per cent means per one hundred). Same as moving the decimal two places to the left. So 246% is 2.46 as a decimal.

Answer 2

1) 246% is equivalent to 246 divided by 100.

2) 246/100 = 2.46

Answer: 246% = 2.46

Answer 3

Consider the percent 246%.

Then we have 246/100.

Dividing by 100 produces 2.46/1.

Thus 2.46/1=2.46.

Therefore, the percent 246% as a decimal is 2.46.

Answer 4

There are several ways to do this type of problem. One is to setup a proportion and then solve for the answer. The key to a proportion for a percent problem is to know that 100% is the same as a decimal of 1. So lets take a look at the proportion.

100% = 1 By doing the cross product we find: 100% x Answer = 1 x 246%

246% Answer

Dividing both sides by 100 we find the answer is 2.46.

Now we can do that work each time or just remember that if you take a percent and divide it by 100, we will find the decimal value that is the same as the percent.

What if we have 346% Just take 346% ÷ 100 to get 3.46

Here is another example. What if we have 86%. Just take 86% ÷ 100 to find the answer of .86

Answer 5

2.46 is the same as 246%

Answer 6

246/100=2.46. Thanks!
