Changing a decimal or a number to a percent 2012-08-10
From Kenneth:
When a decimal or a number is changed to a percent, the decimal or number is multiplied by 100 and then a percent sign (%) is attached.
Why is it necessary to multiply by 100?
What is the reasoning or logic for using this calculation?
