how to convert decimals to percentages?

decimal=decimal x 100/100=decimal x 100%

For instance

0.65=0.65x100%=65%

For a fraction, you should first convert to a decimal and then apply the same.

If u have a fraction and you want to turn it into a decimal then you need to divide the numerator by the denominator and get your decimal. To turn a decimal into a percent you move the decimal 2 places to the right. If you want to return the percent to a decimal then you take the percent and remember that the decimal is at the end of it and then you move the decimal 2 places to the left.

Decimal x 100 = %

(.50 x 100 = 50%)

Numerator divided by Denominator = Decimal

(3/4 = 3 (divided by) 4 = .75)

Percentage/100 = Fraction

(75% = 75/100; Finding lowest common denominator = 3/4)

For all the conversions, I would suggest that simple examples be considered.

The conversion rules can then be readily found.

Fraction to Decimal

1/4 = 0.25 and this is obtained by dividing top line by bottom line

Fraction to Percentage

3/5 becomes 3/5 x 100% = 3 x 20% = 60%

Rule is to multiply top line by 100 and then cancel

Decimal to percentage

0.8 = 80%

Rule is to multiply by 100

Percentage to Fraction

75% = 75/100 = 3/4

Rule is to express as a fraction with 100 as denominator and then cancel

Percentage to Decimal

60% = 60/100 = 0.6

Rule is to divide by 100

Decimal to Fraction

0.64 = 64 /100 = 32/50 = 16/25

0.8 = 8 /10 = 4/5

0.34 = 34 / 100 = 17/50

0.462 = 462/1000 = 231/500

Rule is to express as a suitable fraction and simplify

For Percentages to Decimals, simply divide by 100

For decimal to percentages, simply multiply by 100.

1st convert the decimal into a fraction

e.g 0.5 = 5/10

then 5*100/10

= 50 %

All you need to do is multiply by 100. For example. 0.15 becomes 0.15 multiplied by 100=15%. You do this for all decimals to convert them to a percentage value. Another example would be

0.3356= 0.3356* 100%=33.56%

50% = 50/100 = 1/2 or 0.5

140% = 140/100 = 7/2 or 1.40

Basically, take the percent/100 to get a fraction, then simplify.

Converting decimals to percentage

Example

0.75

Multiply 0.75 times 100 and attach the % sign

0.75 x 100 = 75%

Decimals to Percent:

Simply move the decimal point 2 spaces to the right.

E.g's: 0.25 = 25%; 3.65 = 365%; 0.1 = 10% ... etc.
