So, to convert from decimal to percentage, just multiply the decimal by 100, but remember to put the "%" sign so people know it is per 100.
The easiest way to multiply by 100 is to move the decimal point 2 places to the right:

If you have a percent like 20% you just move the decimal to the right two spaces. The decimal is behind the 0 so you just move it in front of the 2. So the decimal to 20% is .20. Did you get that? I hope that helps.

By definition, a percentage is already in decimal form. Per cent means by hundredths or divided by hundredths. So 10 per cent can be read as 10 per hundred or 10 divided by 100. That is the decimal. Read it and you know the decimal.
57 per hundred is 57 per cent or 57 percent. Then just do the math.
