How to Convert a Decimal Fraction to a Percentage
Converting a decimal to a percentage is very straightforward. Because "percent" means "per 100", you simply multiply the decimal by 100 and add a percent sign (%).
Steps
- Take your decimal fraction.
- Multiply the number by 100 (which is equivalent to moving the decimal point two places to the right).
- Add the % symbol to the result.
Example
Convert 0.75 to a percentage:
1. Multiply by 100: 0.75 × 100 = 75
2. Add the % sign: 75%
