Example Question #1 : How To Find Percentage Equivalent To A Decimal

Convert decimals to percentages.

0.0078

Possible Answers:

$0\small .078\%$

$\small 7.8\%$

$\small 7\%$

$\small 780\%$

$0\small .78\%$

Correct answer:

$0\small .78\%$

Explanation:

To convert a decimal to percentage simply move the decimal point to the right two decimal places.

Thus, $0\small \small .0078$ turns into $0.78\%$ .

In addition to this simple trick, one could also convert a decimal to a percentage by reading the decimal aloud. 0.0078 is read as "seventy-eight ten thousandths", this would look like $\small \frac{78}{10,000}$ . Since percentage is simply a representation of a part per hundred, if this fraction is reduced to a number over one hundred, we would get $\small \frac{0.78}{100}$ , thus 78%.

Example Question #7 : How To Find Percentage Equivalent To A Decimal

Convert decimal to percentage.

$0\small .048$

Possible Answers:

$0\small .488\%$

$0\small .0048\%$

$\small 4.8\%$

$\small 480\%$

$0\small .048\%$

Correct answer:

$\small 4.8\%$

Explanation:

Given $0\small .048$ , moving the decimal two places to the right result in $\small 4.8\%$ .

Also, this decimal number read aloud is "forty-eight thousandths" , which is $\small \small \frac{48}{1000}$ . Since percentages are representations of a part per hundred,when the fraction is simplified by dividing both the numerator and denomintaor by ten to reduce the fraction to be out of one hundred, the numerator is left at $\small 4.8$ , or $\small 4.8\%$ .

Example Question #1 : How To Find Percentage Equivalent To A Decimal

Convert decimal to percentage.

$\small 43.009$

Possible Answers:

$0\small .000439\%$

$4.333\%$

$\small 43\%$

$\small \small 4,300.9\%$

$0\small .4\%$

Correct answer:

$\small \small 4,300.9\%$

Explanation:

Given $\small 43.009$ , move the decimal point two places to the right, resulting in $4300.9\%$ .

Also, $\small 100\%$ is equivalent to $\small 1.0$ . Thus, $\small 43.009$ is roughly that $\small 1.0$ , or $\small 100\%$ , multipled by about 43. So we can expect our answer to be way over $\small 100\%$ !
