To convert a decimal to a percent, follow these simple steps:
-
Multiply the Decimal by 100: Take the decimal value and multiply it by 100 to shift the decimal point two places to the right.
For example, if you have the decimal 0.75: \[ 0.75 \times 100 = 75 \]
-
Add the Percent Sign: After multiplying, append the percent sign (%) to the resulting number to denote that it's a percentage.
Continuing with our example: \[ 75 \text{ becomes } 75% \]
So, 0.75 as a percent is 75%.
In summary:
- Decimal to Percent: \( \text{Decimal} \times 100 = \text{Percent} % \)
Remember, if the decimal is less than 1, the resulting percent will be less than 100%, and if the decimal is greater than 1, the percent will be more than 100%.
