Converting decimals to percentages is useful in mathematics, statistics, finance, and everyday calculations.
Decimal to Percentage Formula
Multiply the decimal by 100:
Percentage = Decimal × 100
For example:
0.25 × 100 = 25%
Therefore:
0.25 = 25%
More Examples
0.5 = 50%
0.75 = 75%
0.10 = 10%
0.01 = 1%
1.25 = 125%
Notice that percentages can exceed 100%. A decimal greater than 1 will produce a percentage greater than 100.

Quick Mental Method
Moving the decimal point two places to the right produces the percentage value.
For example:
0.375 → 37.5%
This is equivalent to multiplying by 100.
