Use division and multiplication

Convert any fraction into a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator.

Numerator #= 2#
Denominator #= 10#

Numerator#-:#Denominator #=# #2-:10=0.2#

#0.2# is #2/10# in decimal form.

Convert decimal numbers into percentages by multiplying the decimal by 100.

Decimal #=0.2#

#0.2xx100=20%#

Remember to add the #%# symbol at the end of decimals converted to percentages.
