Write 1.05 as a percent

Step by step

The question

Question: write 1.05 as a percent.

1 Write it over 100

1.05 has 2 digits after the point.

So we write it over 100.

1.05 is 105 hundredths: 105/100.

Careful!

1.05% means 1.05 out of 100: far too small.

1.05 is 105 out of 100.

2 Write the percent

105 out of 100 is 105%.

The short way: the point moves 2 places to the right.

3 Check

Let's check: 105% is 105/100.

105 hundredths is 1.05.

So the answer is right!

Let's look back.

First: write it over 100.

Then: write the percent.

Last: check.
