Unit 5: Decimal To Percent Conversion

To convert a decimal to a percent, shift the decimal point two places to the right. If a number has a decimal in it and you are converting from a decimal to a percent, use the existing decimal point as the starting point for the conversion. Remember, it is possibly to have percents greater than 100.

Begin counting from wherever the decimal is placed.

0.023 ---> 02.3%

2.56 ---> 256%

0.34 ---> 34%

3 = 3.0 ---> 300%

Now, complete the following practice problems converting from decimals to percents:

1. 0.625                                      6. 6.25

2. 55.75                                      7. 0.078

3. 8.6                                          8. 9.75

4. 12.5                                         9. 1.25

5. 0.076                                       10. 0.67
