When we convert a decimal, like 0.07 to a percent we can quickly find the answer by doing the following:
Decimal x 100 = ______ %
In this case,
0.07 x 100 = 7%
So we multiply 0.07 by 100 to convert 0.07 to a percent. When we do that, we find that 0.07 is 7%.
Note that the decimal 0.07 is less than one so we should have a percentage less than 100%. This is a helpful way to check your work.
--- Steps to Change 0.07 to a Percentage—
1. Multiply the decimal by 100.
2. Check your work to see if your answer is reasonable.
Note you can also change the decimal 0.07 to a percent by moving the decimal place two places to the right. This will also give you 7%
