"P% (Percent Form)" Explained

Turn coefficient to percent form.

Key Idea: p% (Percent Form)

To express a decimal or coefficient as a percent, multiply it by 100 and add the percent symbol (%).


General Rule:

p%=coefficient×100


Why this matters for the SAT:

Percent questions often use coefficients in equations (like growth rates or slopes). Converting between decimal form and percent form helps interpret what a value means in context, especially in exponential or real-world problems.
