Question

What is .01 as a percent?

Answer 1

`.0001 %`

Explanation:

Given: Write `.01` as a percent.

The number `n` = 0.01. This number represents a rate.

To change a rate to a percent: `n/100 %`

`.01/100 = .0001 %`

Answer 2

To convert a decimal number to a percentage, multiply by `100/1%` so `0.01 =1`%

Explanation:

To convert a decimal number to a percentage, multiply by `100/1%`

To convert a percentage to a decimal number, multiply by `1/(100%)`

"Percent" means "per hundred"

e.g. 4% means "4 per 100" or "4 out of every hundred"
4% = `4/100`

In the decimal system each position (decimal place) is a factor of 10 from its neighbor.
Moving to the right, each place is `1/10` of the place to its left:

.... `1000, 100, 10, 1, 1/10, 1/100, 1/1000,`... etc

so
`0.01 = 1/100`, ..."1 divided by 100" or "1 out of 100" or 1%

`0.11 =11/100`, ...... (`0.11 * 100/1% = 11`%)

`0.2 = 0.20 = 2/10 = 20/100` ..... (`0.2 * 100/1% = 20`%)
