15% would be 0.15.

Hello,

15% in decimal is 0.15 because the 5, the last digit of the number must be in the hundredths position, because a percentage is always a fraction out of 100. For example, 15% is 15/100 . In addition, if you want to use your calculator, you just have; 15 divided by 100.

Good luck.

Well 50% means 50 per cent, so it is 50/100, and 50/100 is 0.50.

So if you apply the same on your 15%, then you will find it's value in decimals.
