Convert 0.6 to a percent.

• A. 60%
• B. 6%
• C. 0.6%
• D. 600%

Answer: (A)

To convert a decimal to a percent, multiply by 100 and add the percent symbol. This is the same as moving the decimal point two places to the right. For 0.6, moving the decimal two places gives 60, so it is 60%. You can also see it as 0.6 = 60/100, which is 60%. The other options come from misplacing the decimal: 6% would be 0.06, 0.6% would be 0.006, and 600% would be 6.
