A terminating decimal number.
Why do you move your decimal when multiplying?
"Moving the decimal point" is an easy way to accomplish some multiplications or divisions. If you have a number and you need to multiply it by 10, you should go through the process of multiplication as you've learned to do it, and then when you finish, LOOK at the product you've produced and SEE that it's the same as the original number but with its decimal point moved one place to the right. Then, forever after, you'll remember that if you need to multiply a number by 10, simply move its decimal point one place to the right, and your multiplication will be done. If you have a number and you need to divide it by 10, you should go through the process of division as you've learned to do it, and then when you finish, LOOK at the quotient you've produced and SEE that it's the same as the original number but with its decimal point moved one place to the left. Then, forever after, you'll remember that if you need to divide a number by 10, simply move its decimal point one place to the left, and your division will be done.

What is 0.00009 as a percent?
To get the percentage of any number, you multiply the number by 100. So the percentage of 0.00009 is (0.00009)(100) = 0.009% ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let's look at it another way. We want to change the decimal fraction 0.00009 to a percentage. In the case of decimals all you have to do is to move the decimal point 2 places to the right - but why? Well, you must agree that anything multiplied by 1 does not change the "anything", but we want to multiply by 1 in a special way, and that is by multiplying the "anything" by 100%. Again, if you multiply a decimal by 100 the point needs to go 2 places to the right. Now, of course it is a percentage and must have the % sign. What was a decimal fraction has become a percentage fraction.
