To convert a decimal number to a percentage, multiply by 1001% so 0.01=1%

Explanation:

To convert a decimal number to a percentage, multiply by 1001%

To convert a percentage to a decimal number, multiply by 1100%

"Percent" means "per hundred"

e.g. 4% means "4 per 100" or "4 out of every hundred"
4% = 4100

In the decimal system each position (decimal place) is a factor of 10 from its neighbor.
Moving to the right, each place is 110 of the place to its left:

.... 1000,100,10,1,110,1100,11000,... etc

so
0.01=1100, ..."1 divided by 100" or "1 out of 100" or 1%

0.11=11100, ...... (0.111001%=11%)

0.2=0.20=210=20100 ..... (0.21001%=20%)
