#97.5% = 0.975#

By definition, a percent is a value given out of 100.

Therefore #97.5% = 97.5/100#

Fractions with denominators that are powers of #10# can be written as decimals.

#97.5/100 = 0.975#

Or to make it clearer, get rid of the decimal in the numerator

#97.5/100 xx 10/10 = 975/1000 = 0.975#
