a per cent is literally per 100, so put the number over 100.
100 18 3 1 ​ ​ = 60 11 ​ = 0.18 ( 3 )

18 1/3% as a decimal is approximately 0.1833. This is calculated by first converting the mixed number to an improper fraction, converting that fraction to a decimal by dividing by 100, and simplifying the steps along the way. So, 18 1/3% can be thought of as 55/300, which simplifies to 11/60, and then results in approximately 0.1833 when divided.
