Hello There!

1.27 to a percent would be 127%

"Percent" means "per 100" or "over 100". So, to convert 1.27 to percent we rewrite 1.27 in terms of "per 100" or over 100.

Multiply 1.27 by 100/100. Since 100/100 = 1, we are only multiplying by 1 and not changing the value of our number.

Therefore, we have shown that

1.27 = 127%
