Decimals and percentages are two ways of expressing same thing. To convert decimals to percentages or vice versa, just move the decimal 2 places to the right or left/multiply or divide by 100.
\nMove the decimal point two places to the right: 0.35 $\\rightarrow$ 3.5 $\\rightarrow$ 35.
\nAdd a % sign: 35%
\nAnswer 0.35 = 35%
