How It Works
Converting a decimal to a percentage is the reverse of converting a percentage to a decimal. You multiply by 100, which moves the decimal point two places to the right.
The Formula
Percentage = Decimal × 100
Common Uses
This conversion is useful when reading statistical data, probability values, or calculator outputs that show decimals instead of percentages. For example, a probability of 0.85 is the same as an 85% chance, and a growth rate of 0.032 represents 3.2% growth.
