How to convert a decimal to a percent
Multiply the decimal by 100 and add a percent sign, which moves the decimal point two places to the right. 0.35 becomes 35%, 0.075 becomes 7.5% and 1.2 becomes 120%.
Reading the result
A decimal below 1 is less than 100%, exactly 1 is 100% and anything above 1 is more than the whole. Negative decimals give negative percentages, which is how a fall is usually shown: −0.04 is a 4% drop.
The formula
Percentage = decimal × 100.
