Decimals and percentages are easier to compare than fractions - particularly if they are unlike fractions. That does not explain why percentages are required when we have decimal number and there is no good answer to that!
Remove the percentage sign and divide by 100. In decimal form, it means simply move the decimal point two spaces to the left.
Divide percentages by 100 to get the decimal equivalent. So, 155 / 100 = 1.55
Divide percentages by 100 to get the decimal equivalent. So, 10.6 / 100 = 0.106
both signify a part of a whole. percentages are based on 100 being 1 so 100% is 1 whole thing. 1 whole thing with decimals is 1.00. You can change from decimals to percentages by moving the decimal 2 places to the right and percentages to decimals by moving the decimal 2 places to the left.
Move the decimal point two positions to the left. For example, 750% = 7.5 75% = 0.75 7.5% = 0.075
Well you firstly you turn it into a decimal e.g 1/2=0.5 and then you multiply the decimal by 100 e.g 0.5=50%. So that's how you do it 1/2=50%
For future refernce,in order to turn a decimal into a percentage you would move the decimal 2 places to the right,and a lot of the zeros are used as place holders,so 0.204 being displayed as a decimal would be written as %20.4,and to turn percentages into decimals, you would move the decimal 2 places to the left,so 20.4 percent would turn back into 0.204,which would be the same as .204,but again,the zeros are often nothing more than place holders.Decimals into percentages=2 places to the right;percentages into decimals=2 places to the left.

Change it to a decimal and then multiply it.
Decimal to percent- move the decimal 2 (two) places to the right and add the percent sign. percent to decimal- move the decimal 2 (two) places to the left and take away the percent sign.
Remove the percentage sign and divide by 100. In decimal form, it means simply move the decimal point two spaces to the left.
Move the decimal two places to the right to change decimal to percent. 0.3=30%
