Answer 3

Hi crazy_girl,
You can take 8.05 and multiply by 100/100 (that's just multiplying by 1, so it doesn't change the number --- just the "name" of the number!)
Then, 8.05 * 100/100 = 805/100; it can be reduced, if desired.
This name makes it easy to go to the percent name, since 1% = 1/100:
805/100 = 805*(1/100) = 805%
So --- the number 8.05 has *lots* of different names; and different names are good for different things you might want to do with the number!

Answer 5

And... one of my web pages might be helpful for you; it talks about changing decimals to percents:
http://www.onemathematicalcat.org/algebra_book/online_problems/dec_to_percent.htm
It talks about a *really easy way* to go from a decimal to a percent.
There's lot of practice at the bottom, if you want feedback about if you've got the idea down... hope it helps!
