Answer: Move the decimal 2 places to the right.

Step-by-step explanation:

In other words, you are multiplying the decimal by 100 and then adding a '%' sign.

For example:

0.83 = 83%

1.52 = 152%

0.02 = 2%

0.159 = 15.9%

Hope this was helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions. :)

To convert from decimal form to percent form, you must move the decimal two places to the right

This is basically the same as multiplying the decimal value by 100

Example: 0.10 converts to 10%

Another example: 0.9867 converts to 98.67%
