I think you're looking for the decimal data type:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#rf-minInclusive

I'm not certain how you want to constrain it - do you want to ensure 
that there are only two places after the decimal point? You can control 
this with fractionDigits:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dt-fractionDigits

You can also control the numeric range and the number of total digits, 
as illustrated in the example in the section I just pointed you to. But 
it's possible I haven't understood what you mean by "the decimal part 
has a range between 1 and 100".
