To convert a decimal to a percent, you follow these steps:
1. Understand the Relationship: A percentage is simply a way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100. So, we need to convert the decimal into a form that compares it to 100.
2. Multiplying by 100: To convert a decimal to a percent, you multiply the decimal number by 100. This is because "percent" literally means "per hundred."
3. Perform the Multiplication:
[tex]\[
0.6614 \times 100 = 66.14
\][/tex]
4. Add the Percent Symbol: After multiplication, you need to add the percent symbol (%) to indicate that this is a percentage.
So, the decimal [tex]\(0.6614\)[/tex] converted to a percent is:
[tex]\[
66.14\%
\][/tex]
