multipy decimal by 100

simple: multiply it by 100%

example: 0.453

0.453 * 100% = 45.3%

percent means per cent (where "cent" is from the latin word centum meaning 100 -- no coincidence that the roman numeral "C" represents 100) or per 100
if you multiply a number by 100% you are multiplying it by
100 percent = 100 per cent = 100 per 100 = 100/100 =1
thus you're multiplying it by one, so the value of the number
hasn't changed. thus you can say 0.453 = 45.3%
the number on the left is the same as the number on the right

my guess is that when you first learned how to convert a decimal to a percent, you just learned a mechanical method like one of the other answers given here but without the above understanding and therefore it was easy to forget

please sue your public school for incompetence

Shift the decimal two spaces to the right.

For example, .88 becomes 88%

IF YOUR DECIMAL IS .02 YOUR PERCENT WOULD 2%
