Decimals to Percents Song Lyrics:

Listen up!
Here's how you represent
a decimal as a percent.
Move the decimal point two places right;
then write a percent sign.

A decimal is a fraction
whose denominator is a power of ten.
A percent is a portion out of one hundred.

And the workload is minimal
to convert a percent to a decimal.
The decimal point moves left two places;
then the percent sign erases.

A decimal is a fraction
whose denominator is a power of ten.
A percent is a portion out of one hundred.
