How do change decimals into percents?

In: Math and Arithmetic [Edit categories]

Answer:

If you would like to change a decimal into a percent, all you have to do is this:
Move the decimal point over two places.

Ex.:

.125 = 12.5%

Easy. I know.

Another example:

.75 = 75.0% or 75% (which is worth the same amount)

You move the decimal two places to the right.
