How do you turn .6 into a percent

yan [13]

Percent means per 100.
Per means divided by.
So you can change a number by multiplying it by 1. Anything over itself is 1 (except zero but that doesn't matter right now)

So multiply .6 by 100/100
So you get 60/100
or 60 per 100
or 60%.

So basically, just multiply by 100 and add the % sign!
