When turning a percent into a decimal, all you have to do is move the decimal 2 places to the left of the end of the number. This is because when turning a decimal into a percent, you must multiply it by 100, which is 2 decimal places. Your answer is 1.00.
an easy way to do this is to move the decimal two spots to the left. for instance 50% would be .50. Likewise to turn a decimal to a percent you move the decimal two spaces to the right. for instance .50 would be 50%.

Exactly what you have when you just move the decimal point three places to the right from where it originally is.
To the left
Left.
To multiply by 1/10, move the decimal point 1 place to the left. To multiply by 1/100, move the decimal point 2 places to the left. To multiply by 1/1000, move the decimal point 3 places to the left.
The reason is because you have to make the number bigger when you multiply. When you move the decimal to the right you make the number bigger, when you move it to the left you make it smaller. Therefore, when you divide you must move the decimal to the left.
Multiply by ten to move the decimal one place to the right. Multiply by 100 to move two places to the right. Divide by ten to move it one place to the left.
No.
You multiply by 10 (Add a zero)
Multiply your decimal by 100 or move the decimal two places to the left.....you should get 15.5% -M
move it 2 the rite
Wherever the decimal is, move it two places to the left Example: 98.87 x .01 = .9887
5% is 5/100. So you can divide by 100 by moving the decimal point 2 places to the left and then multiply by 5, or you can multiply by 5 first and then move the decimal point. Or you can divide by 2 and move the decimal point 1 place to the left. Either way, I get 9.525.
Move the decimal point left to multiply by a negative power of ten. For example, 5X10-3 is 0.005
