Answer:

To convert a decimal to a percentage, multiply by 100 (just move the decimal point 2 places to the right).

Explanation:

For example, 0.065 = 6.5% and 3.75 = 375%

Answer:

When we divide 50 by 100 we get 0.5 (a decimal number). So, to convert from percent to decimal: divide by 100, and remove the "%" sign.
