So 0.007 is equivalent to 0.7%.

Method 2 Rename as a Fraction

0.007  10007 100 0.7 0.7%

Method 1 Rename as a Decimal

• Divide by the denominator to write the
  equivalent decimal.


• Write the decimal as a percent.

2001 ^1 ^200 0.005 0.0050.5%

Rename 0.85% as a decimal.

• To divide by 100, move the decimal point
