1
00:00:00,580 --> 00:00:06,610
Let's see if we can write
1.501 as a percentage.

2
00:00:06,610 --> 00:00:09,030
Now we really just want
to write this quantity

3
00:00:09,030 --> 00:00:11,050
as something over 100.

4
00:00:11,050 --> 00:00:12,880
So what we can do is
we can say that this

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,480
is the same thing
as 1.501 over 1.

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:17,940
We haven't changed its value.

7
00:00:17,940 --> 00:00:22,504
And let's multiply
it times 100/100.

8
00:00:22,504 --> 00:00:24,920
When we do this product-- and
I haven't changed the value.

9
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,770
This is just multiplying
something times 1.

10
00:00:26,770 --> 00:00:28,770
But when we do it, we're
going to change the way

11
00:00:28,770 --> 00:00:29,895
that we're representing it.

12
00:00:29,895 --> 00:00:33,570
The denominator now is
going to be 1 times 100.

13
00:00:33,570 --> 00:00:35,000
So that's pretty
straightforward.

14
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,980
That's just going to be 100.

15
00:00:36,980 --> 00:00:38,740
And then the
numerator, we're going

16
00:00:38,740 --> 00:00:42,730
to want to multiply
1.501 times 100.

17
00:00:42,730 --> 00:00:45,460
And so if we multiply
this times 10,

18
00:00:45,460 --> 00:00:47,250
we would move the
decimal one over.

19
00:00:47,250 --> 00:00:48,750
We want to multiply
it by 100, so we

20
00:00:48,750 --> 00:00:50,600
want to multiply by 10 again.

21
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,970
So we're going to move the
decimal over to the right

22
00:00:52,970 --> 00:00:53,470
twice.

23
00:00:53,470 --> 00:00:56,000
We're multiplying
it by 10 twice,

24
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,907
or you're multiplying it by 100.

25
00:00:57,907 --> 00:00:58,990
This is multiplying by 10.

26
00:00:58,990 --> 00:01:00,310
This is multiplying by 100.

27
00:01:00,310 --> 00:01:02,310
So this is where the
decimal's going to sit now.

28
00:01:02,310 --> 00:01:07,060
So we're going to get 150.1.

29
00:01:07,060 --> 00:01:12,340
And so we've rewritten the
1.501 as 150.1 over 100,

30
00:01:12,340 --> 00:01:14,731
or 150.1 per 100.

31
00:01:14,731 --> 00:01:15,480
Let me write that.

32
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:22,530
150.1 per 100, which
is the same thing

33
00:01:22,530 --> 00:01:32,980
as 150.1 per cent, which is
the same thing as 150.1%.

34
00:01:32,980 --> 00:01:33,687
And we're done.

35
00:01:33,687 --> 00:01:35,770
And, essentially, all
you're doing-- if you really

36
00:01:35,770 --> 00:01:38,740
want to simplify the process--
we're multiplying this

37
00:01:38,740 --> 00:01:41,380
by 100 to get 150.1.

38
00:01:41,380 --> 00:01:43,575
And then we're saying,
that is the percentage.

39
00:01:43,575 --> 00:01:45,950
So you want to make sure that
you write the percent there

40
00:01:45,950 --> 00:01:48,150
or the percent symbol.
