Express 0.82 as a percent.

• A. 82%
• B. 0.82%
• C. 8.2%
• D. 0.0082%

Answer: (A)

Converting a decimal to a percent means moving the decimal point two places to the right and adding the percent sign. For 0.82, moving the decimal two places right gives 82, so it is 82%. The other options would correspond to different decimals: 0.82% equals 0.0082 as a decimal, 8.2% equals 0.082, and 0.0082 equals 0.82%.
