Jamarcus Yang · Answer 1

1.2 as a percent is 120%, so the students in chorus increased by 120%.

Beckett Trevino · Answer 2

Since the percent sign has 2 zeros:% then that means to convert a decimal to a percent, move the decimals to the right 2 spaces. Now, 1.2 should look like this:120. You add the zero because that space is worth nothing, but it is used for the spaces.
