Lesson One hundred and Thirty-one: Percents and Decimals


Converting decimal values into percents is one of the easiest things you can do. Here are a bunch of examples:

Decimal-Percent Equivalents

PERCENT DECIMAL
80% .8
8% .08
55% .55

NOTICE that 80% is equivalent to .8 and that 8% is equivalent to .08.

As you can see converting a decimal to a percent is about as easy as swapping a percent sign for a decimal point.


	DECIMAL 	PERCENT

	  .5		 50%
	  .25		 25%
	  .05		  5%
	  .1		 10%
	  .01		  1%


Now you get to try a few for yourself.
