The whole trick to turning whole numbers into percents is just adding two zeros in your head. Except when you have decimals—then you move a dot. But honestly, who doesn’t love moving a dot? It’s like a tiny dot migration.
Next time you see a barista give you 100% of their energy, you can nod knowingly. Or if a friend says they’re “500% sure” about something, you can say, “So you’re saying the base number is 5?” They won’t get it. But you will.
And that’s the point. Go forth, multiply by 100, and confuse your friends with math you just learned. I believe in you. 100%. No—make it 1,000%.
