Do you know the process of converting decimals to percent? In this Numerical Reasoning tutorial, we will be learning about that process. First of all, “percent” means “per 100” so Multiply the Decimal Number by 100, and put the “%” sign so people know it’s per 100. I know it’s kinda hard at the start but learning this kind of conversion will increase your chances of passing the Numerical Reasoning part of the Civil Service Exam. Why? Because there are many CSE questions that require you to compute numbers and converting decimals to percent is some of them.
