Explain conversion of decimal into percentage
The conversion of decimal to percentage is defined by multiplication of the percentage value, $100$ , with the given decimal value.
It is done by shifting the decimal point in the given number two places towards the “right”.

To convert this into percentage we will shift the decimal point two place towards the right which will define the multiplication with percentage value.
