Decimal number system is the numeric system where the numbers are written on the basis of ‘10’. Various conversions can be done on decimals and one such conversion is from decimal to percent. Decimal to percent calculator is an instant online tool helpful in converting a decimal to a percent value.
Example 1: Convert the decimal number 0.76 to its percent value.
Given decimal number = 0.76
Percent means “per cent” which implies the number is always considered over ‘100’.
Hence in order to convert a decimal to its percentage value, we should always multiply the given decimal number with ‘100’.
Multiply the decimal number with 100 (0.76 * 100) = 76
This ‘76’ is the percentage value of the given decimal number.
Hence 0.76 = 76%
Example 2: Convert the decimal number 0.246 to its percent value.
Given decimal number = 0.246
Here the decimal number has ‘3’ places after the decimal point.
However since percent means “per cent” which implies the number is always considered over ‘100’.
Hence we should always multiply the given decimal number with ‘100’.
Multiply the decimal number with 100 (0.246 * 100) = 24.6
This ’24.6’ is the percentage value of the given decimal number.
Hence 0.246 = 24.6%
