To convert a percentage to a decimal, follow these steps:
1. Understand the percentage value: We start with the percentage given, which is [tex]\(68\%\)[/tex].
2. Convert the percentage to a fraction: Recall that a percentage is essentially a fraction out of 100. So, [tex]\(68\%\)[/tex] is equivalent to [tex]\(\frac{68}{100}\)[/tex].
3. Simplify the fraction: Next, when we divide [tex]\(68\)[/tex] by [tex]\(100\)[/tex], we perform the division.
4. Write the fraction as a decimal: Dividing [tex]\(68\)[/tex] by [tex]\(100\)[/tex] gives us [tex]\(0.68\)[/tex].
Thus,
[tex]\[ 68\% = 0.68 \][/tex]
So, [tex]\(68\%\)[/tex] as a decimal is [tex]\(\boxed{0.68}\)[/tex].
