Answer:

To convert a decimal to percent, just multiply it by 100, or move the decimal place 2 times

Ex: 0.29 x 100 = 29

The answer would be 29%

To convert a percent to a decimal, do the opposite

Ex: 29%/100 = 0.29

To convert decimals to percents is to multiply by 100 then add a percent sign. To convert percents to decimals is to move the decimal point two places to the left or divide by 100 and remove the percent sign.

Explanation:

Example:2.5%

2.5% can be expressed in decimal form as 0.025. Since a percent represents the part per 100 to convert a percent to a decimal divide 2.5 by 100.

2.5/100=0.025.

Example:2.5

2.5 can be expressed in percent form as 250%.Since a decimal represents a fraction and a percent is out of 100, to convert a decimal to a precent multiply 2.5 by 100.

2.5 x 100=250

Add the percent sign

250%
