Changing Decimals to Percents<br />
You just learned how to change a percent to a decimal by moving the decimal<br />
point two places to the left. Changing a decimal to a percent is just the opposite.<br />
For example: Change 0.43 to a percent.<br />
1. Move the decimal point 0.43<br />
two places to the right.<br />
2. The decimal point is at the 43<br />
end of the number where it can be dropped.<br />
3. Add the percent. 43%<br />
Try this one. Change 0.217 to a percent.<br />
1. Move the decimal point 21.7<br />
two places to the right.<br />
2. The decimal point is not at the 21.7<br />
end of the number so you cannot drop it.<br />
3. Add the percent. 21.7%<br />
