Converting a decimal to a percentage is one of the most fundamental math operations. A decimal represents a fraction of 1, while a percentage represents a fraction of 100. To convert, you simply multiply the decimal by 100 and add the % symbol.
For example, 0.75 means 75 hundredths, which equals 75%. The decimal 0.5 is 50%, 0.25 is 25%, and 1.0 is 100%. Decimals greater than 1 give percentages over 100% — like 1.5 = 150%.
This conversion is essential in grades (0.85 = 85%), statistics (probability of 0.30 = 30%), finance (interest rate 0.065 = 6.5%), and countless everyday calculations.
Take any decimal and multiply it by 100. Move the decimal point two places to the right. Example: 0.42 × 100 = 42%.
After multiplying, add the percent sign (%). This indicates the number is now per hundred: 0.42 becomes 42%.
Decimals > 1 give percentages > 100%. Negative decimals give negative percentages. Zero stays 0%.
