#3%#

Explanation:

To convert a decimal into a percent, move the decimal two places to the right.

#0.03-># Move decimal two places to the right #->3.0%# or simply #3%#

Alternatively, if we had a calculator, we can multiply the decimal by #100#. The result is the same.

#0.03*100% = 3%#

You can also go backwards and convert a percent to a decimal by reversing the two processes above.

Ex: Convert #45%# into a decimal

#-># Move decimal two places to the left

#45.0 -> 0.45#

#-># Divide by 100

#(45%)/100=0.45#
