To change any percent to a decimal, move the decimal two places to the left.--->
38.2% = .382
This will work for any %.

Lee G is right-- You are essentially dividing your percentage by 100. A percentage is saying that 38.2 people out of 100 people/things/animals are something. Example, 38.2% of people don't like chocolate. That says that if you polled 100 people, 38.2 would say they didnt like chocolate or 38.2/100 which equals .382.
I just though i'd expand on Lee's so you knew why that was the right answer.

% is as same as: number/100, for example 5%.
5% = 5/100 = 0.05
87% = 87/100 = 0.87
So, 38.2% = 38.2/100 = 0.382 ---- as their are two zero's, just move the decimel two points to the left. . . :-)
