An easier way of finding the percentage of a decimal is:


Pin-point the decimal point. Move it two place values over. Make it a percentage.


0.142 => 14.2%


Of course, you can still change it to a fraction (over 100), and then change it to a percentage.


0.142 => 142/1000 = 14.2/100 = 14.2%


14.2% is your answer


hope this helps

Multiply the number by 100%.

0.142 · 100% = 14.2%
