Question

going from a decimal to a percentage
as you saw in the previous parts, dividing by 100 will convert a percentage to a decimal. conversely, multiplying by 100 will convert a decimal to a percenta
example, the fraction one - half, which is equal to the decimal 0.5, can be converted to a percentage as follows:
\\(0.5\times100\\% = 50\\%\\)
notice that the decimal moves two places to the right when you multiply a value by 100.

Step2: Convert to percentage

$\frac{16.0}{125} \times 100\%$

Step3: Compute the final value

$0.128 \times 100\% = 12.8\%$
