    A percentage is a way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100 (per cent meaning "per hundred").

    Percentages are used to express how large one quantity is, relative to another quantity. The first quantity usually represents a part of, or a change in, the second quantity, which should be greater than zero. For example, an increase of $ 0.15 on a price of $ 2.50 is an increase by a fraction of 0.15 / 2.50 = 0.06. Expressed as a percentage, this is therefore a 6% increase.

      Yes, move the decimal place two places to the left, this will be for one percent, and then multiply by two.  As and you too can figure percentages, like we did!!
