Question

What percent is equivalent to,_, 0.82

Answer 1

The answer is 82%. To get the percentage, you use the D to P method. In this case, 82 is in the hundredths place so it shows it is a whole number and not a decimal percentage. If it was 0.08, it would be 8%. But if it was 0.435, it would be 43.5%. Basically what you do is move the decimal two times forward to get the percentage. However, if you try to find the decimal of a percentage, you do the same thing just backwards (P to D). Move the decimal two times to the left. Like 82% is 0.82 or 8% turns into 0.08. You get the idea! If it helps just think it was D two P or P two D.
