Solved Examples on Decimal to Percent

We can also express a decimal as a per cent simply by multiplying it by 100 and writing % to the right of it.

For example:

0.45 = 0.45 × 100%

        = (0.45 × 100)%

        = 45%

Similarly, 2.37 = 2.37 × 100%

                      = (2.37 × 100)%

                      = 237%

and 1.7 = 1.7 × 100%

            = (1.7 × 100)%

            = 170%
