The quick way to change a decimal into a percentage is to multiply it by
100
For example to write 0.75 as a percentage multiply it by 100
0.75 x 100 = 75
so 0.75 as a percentage is 75% - remember to add the % sign.
Try it with another one. Write 0.05 as a percentage.
Take 0.05 and multiply it by 100
0.05 x 100 = 5
so 0.05 as a percentage is 5% - again remember to add the % sign.
Notice that small decimals make small percentages.
Here are some more decimals multiplied by 100 to make percentages.
0.05 x 100 = 5 so 0.05 = 5%
0.1 x 100 = 10 so 0.1 = 10%
0.25 x 100 = 25 so 0.25 = 25%
0.5 x 100 = 50 so 0.5 = 50%
0.66 x 100 = 66 so 0.66 = 66%
0.9 x 100 = 90 so 0.9 = 90%
0.99 x 100 = 99 so 0.99 = 99%
1.0 x 100 = 100 so 1.0 = 100%
