00:00:00.570 --> 00:00:06.278
Let's see if we can write 1.501 as a percentage.

00:00:06.278 --> 00:00:10.846
Now, we really just want to write this quantity, as something over 100.

00:00:10.846 --> 00:00:15.942
So, what we can do is, we can say that this is the same thing as 1.501 over 1.

00:00:15.942 --> 00:00:22.031
We haven't changed it's value, now let's multiply it times 100 over 100.

00:00:22.031 --> 00:00:25.048
When we do this product, and I haven't changed the value,

00:00:25.048 --> 00:00:26.930
this just multiplying something times one.

00:00:26.930 --> 00:00:29.729
But, when we do it we're going to change the way that we're representing it.

00:00:29.729 --> 00:00:34.800
The denominator now, is going to be 1 times 100, so that's pretty straightforward.

00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:36.750
That's just going to be 100.

00:00:36.750 --> 00:00:42.352
And then the numerator, we're going to want to multiply 1.501 times 100.

00:00:42.352 --> 00:00:44.095
And so, this is going

00:00:44.095 --> 00:00:45.630
If we multiply this times 10,

00:00:45.630 --> 00:00:47.346
we would move the decimal one over,

00:00:47.346 --> 00:00:48.867
we want to be multiplied by hundreds,

00:00:48.867 --> 00:00:50.186
we want to multiply by 10 again.

00:00:50.186 --> 00:00:53.348
So we going to more the decimal over to the right twice.

00:00:53.348 --> 00:00:55.885
We're multiplying it by 10, twice.

00:00:55.885 --> 00:00:57.515
Or you're multiplying it by 100.

00:00:57.515 --> 00:00:58.902
This is multiplying by 10,

00:00:58.902 --> 00:01:00.200
this is multiplying it by 100.

00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:02.245
So this is where the decimals are going to sit now.

00:01:02.245 --> 00:01:06.381
So we're going to get 150.1

00:01:06.381 --> 00:01:12.337
And so we've rewritten 1.501 as 150.1 over 100,

00:01:12.337 --> 00:01:14.699
or 150.1 per 100.

00:01:14.699 --> 00:01:21.089
Let me write that, 150.1 per... per 100

00:01:21.089 --> 00:01:25.502
Which is the same thing as 150.1 per cent

00:01:25.502 --> 00:01:32.935
Which is the same thing as 150.1%

00:01:32.935 --> 00:01:33.953
And we're done.

00:01:33.953 --> 00:01:35.536
And essentially what we are doing

00:01:35.536 --> 00:01:37.464
- if you really want to simplify the process -

00:01:37.464 --> 00:01:41.453
we're multiplying this by 100 to get 150.1

00:01:41.453 --> 00:01:43.700
and then we're saying that is the percentage.

00:01:43.700 --> 00:01:46.980
So you wanna make sure that you write % there or the % symbol.
