decimal by
Moving the position of the decimal point two places to the left and filling in
any
Gaps with zeros. For example 64.5% would be 0.645 as a decimal. (See
worked
Example 5 on page 38.)
2. Change the of to a .
3. Multiply the decimal by the amount.
One amount as a percentage of another
To express one amount as a percentage of another, follow these steps.
1. Write the amount as a fraction of the total:
2. Multiply by and write the % sign.
3. Cancel.
4. Multiply numerators and multiply denominators.
5. Simplify your answer if possible.
Remember if conversions are not the same make them the same, try not to
deal with decimals when doing conversions, convert the bigger one.
Increasing and Decreasing by a certain
percentageWhat you do is when increasing by a certain percentage you add 100% to
the percentage and then do percentage of the amount using either
fractions or decimals and then get the final answer.
When decreasing you take away 100% from the percentage and then do the
percentage of the amount and then get the final answer
