The percent symbol (%) contains two circles that serve as instructions: each circle represents one move of the decimal point to the left. To convert a percentage to a decimal, count the circles in the percent symbol and move the decimal point that many spaces to the left, adding zeros as needed. For example, 53% becomes 0.53 (move decimal twice), 7% becomes 0.07 (move decimal twice with a leading zero), and 123% becomes 1.23 (move decimal twice).

Stop guessing where the decimal goes.

Move the dot once for the first circle and twice for the second. You get.53.
What about 7%? Move it once, move it twice, fill that empty gap with a zero.
.07.
The symbol does all the work for you.
