It's very important that you are able to perform long division to convert fractions to decimals. After a while, you'll remember the decimal of common fractions. These are ones that you should learn:

To change a decimal to a percent, you multiply by 100 or move the decimal two place values to the right.
In math, we often express decimals or fractions as a percent. Percent means out of 100. Sometimes it's easier to visualize the amount out of 100. For example, if 3/4 of the class memorized their multiplication facts, 3/4 is 0.75. But 0.75 is 75%. So if there were 100 students, 75 would know their multiplication facts. Percentages are a universal way to express fractions or decimals. Look around the grocery store or mall. Labels on food tell us the percentage of a nutrient that is in the food. Clothing store use percentages to tell the discounted price... 30%, 40%, 50%... off.
