Question

How do you find the percent notation for \[0.05\] ?

Answer 1

Hint: While approaching such kind of question one should know about the decimal representation and the percentage that is the decimal numbers that can be defined as the form of the number in which it contains a whole number and the decimal part after the dot or point which is known as decimal point and the percentage is the number or ratio expressed as a fraction of \[100\].

Complete step-by-step answer:
Here we are given a number that is \[0.05\] which is in the decimal notation (that can be defined as the form of the number in which it contains a whole number and the decimal part after the dot or point which is known as decimal point. Also the term after the decimal point can be repeating or non-repeating) and we are asked to convert it into the percentage notation (that is the ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of \[100\]).
So it can be done simply by multiplying the given decimal notation that is \[0.05\] by the number\[100\] and the resultant answer is the required percent notation that is depicted as follows –
\[0.05{\times}100 = 5\% \]
So the required percent notation for the given decimal is \[5\% \]

Note: While solving such kind of question one should have a detailed knowledge of decimal part and decimal representation that is repeating non repeating and much more also the care should be taken while calculating the answer as the whole solution depends on the precision of the calculation
