0:00:00.860,0:00:03.996
Percent literally means per 100.

0:00:03.996,0:00:05.370
That's where the[br]word comes from.

0:00:05.370,0:00:10.540
Cent from cents or century or[br]any of those words means 100.

0:00:10.540,0:00:13.859
So if someone tells[br]you 7 per cent--

0:00:13.859,0:00:16.400
and I'm separating the word so[br]it makes a little more sense--

0:00:16.400,0:00:18.680
they're really saying 7 per 100.

0:00:18.680,0:00:22.260
This is the same[br]thing as 7 per 100,

0:00:22.260,0:00:27.640
which is the same thing as a[br]fraction as 7 per 7 per 100.

0:00:27.640,0:00:29.170
With that out of[br]the way, let's see

0:00:29.170,0:00:36.810
if we can write 0.601[br]as a percentage.

0:00:36.810,0:00:40.930
Well, we essentially want to[br]write it as something over 100.

0:00:40.930,0:00:42.730
So you could view[br]it as-- I'll just

0:00:42.730,0:00:44.800
rewrite this part[br]right over here.

0:00:44.800,0:00:48.600
You could write it[br]as 0.601 over 1.

0:00:48.600,0:00:50.152
This is obviously[br]the same quantity.

0:00:50.152,0:00:51.610
If you divide[br]anything by 1, you're

0:00:51.610,0:00:53.370
still going to get[br]that same anything.

0:00:53.370,0:01:00.105
And I'm going to multiply[br]it by 100 over 100.

0:01:00.105,0:01:01.730
Obviously, this won't[br]change the value.

0:01:01.730,0:01:03.310
This is just 1 here.

0:01:03.310,0:01:06.000
But what this does is it'll[br]give us a fraction in term

0:01:06.000,0:01:07.800
with the denominator being 100.

0:01:07.800,0:01:11.790
So the denominator, if I[br]multiply these two characters

0:01:11.790,0:01:13.530
right over here in[br]the denominator,

0:01:13.530,0:01:16.480
the denominator of our[br]product is going to be 100.

0:01:16.480,0:01:21.370
If I multiply 0.0601 times[br]100, what am I going to get?

0:01:21.370,0:01:24.570
Well, every time I multiply[br]it by a multiple of 10

0:01:24.570,0:01:26.130
or every time I[br]multiply it by 10,

0:01:26.130,0:01:28.850
I'm going to shift the decimal[br]over to the right once.

0:01:28.850,0:01:32.560
So if I multiply it[br]by 10, I'd get 6.01.

0:01:32.560,0:01:34.070
And if I multiply[br]it by a 10 again

0:01:34.070,0:01:37.830
or if I multiply it by[br]100, I'm going to get 60.1.

0:01:37.830,0:01:44.700
So 0.601 times 100 is 60.1.

0:01:44.700,0:01:46.240
Let me rewrite that again.

0:01:46.240,0:01:52.930
If I were to write 0.601, and[br]I want to multiply it by 100,

0:01:52.930,0:01:55.250
shift the decimal once,[br]I multiply it by 10.

0:01:55.250,0:01:59.020
If I multiply it by 10 again, or[br]essentially multiply it by 100,

0:01:59.020,0:02:01.130
I get 60.1.

0:02:01.130,0:02:02.600
So this is times 10.

0:02:02.600,0:02:03.880
This is times 10 again.

0:02:03.880,0:02:05.970
I've essentially[br]multiplied it by 100.

0:02:05.970,0:02:07.880
But now we have it[br]in the form we like.

0:02:07.880,0:02:09.919
We have 60.1 over 100.

0:02:09.919,0:02:11.550
Or you could rewrite this.

0:02:11.550,0:02:18.500
This is the same[br]thing as 60.1 per 100,

0:02:18.500,0:02:24.860
which is the same[br]thing as 60.1 percent.

0:02:24.860,0:02:28.460
And we'd obviously want to write[br]it then as 60.1 percent, as one

0:02:28.460,0:02:33.930
word, or 60.1, and we'll[br]just use the symbol-- 60.1%.

0:02:33.930,0:02:35.940
We are done.
