To convert a percent to a decimal, move the decimal point two places to the left.

Percent means per hundred, so turning a percent into a decimal is Division by 100. Moving the decimal point two places to the left accomplishes exactly that: you’re effectively dividing by 100. For example, 47% becomes 0.47, and 120% becomes 1.20. Moving the decimal to the right would increase the number and isn’t how you get the decimal value from percent. The idea that percent equals a decimal times 100 is the reverse: it explains how to get the percent from a decimal, not how to convert the other way around.
