different ways of percents in everyday life, it’s helpful if
representing the same number. we can juggle or change between each

A percentage represents
an amount out of 100.
We use the (%) symbol instead of writing
fractions with a denominator of 100.
My bad!

we find another

110% instead of saying Sparky example!

Someone
Because a percentage represents told me that when
an amount out of 100, to turn a decimal you multiply by 100, it’s
just like moving the Moving
into a percent, all we do is decimal point 2 places
to the right!
the decimal
seems waaaaay
multiply the decimal by 100. Got it! easier to me!

That someone
Let’s change 0.62 to a percent! was correct!
100
× 0.62 Don’t forget the It is! Just don’t forget to add
200 = 62 percent sign! the percent sign after you
+ 600 move the decimal!
62.00 62%
17 18

So, let’s use Sparky’s method to easily Example 3:

change some decimals into percents. 1.25 → 125.0 = 125%

Example 1:
Example 4:
0.45 → 45.0 = 45%
2.00 → 200.0 = 200%
Example 2:
0.70 → 70.0 = 70% An “understood” decimal
comes after the 2.
I’m
pretty sure I
have this!
Before we can move the Add two zeros so we

We better practice just to be sure!
