Answer:

= 2808.6%

Explanation:

"Percent" means "per 100" or "over 100". So, to convert 28.086 to percent we rewrite 28.086 in terms of "per 100" or over 100.

Multiply 28.086 by 100/100. Since 100/100 = 1, we are only multiplying by 1 and not changing the value of our number.

28.086/1×100/100=2808.6100

2808.6/100 is 2808.6 over 100 and means 2808.6 per 100. 2808.6 "per 100" means 2808.6 "percent" or 2808.6%

Therefore, we have shown that

28.086 = 2808.6%

Simplified Conversion:

Multiply by 100 and add the percent sign %

28.086 × 100 becomes 2808.6%

Shortcut Conversion:

Move the decimal point 2 places to the right and add the percent sign %

28.086 becomes 2808.6%
