Concept

To convert a decimal to a percentage, multiply it by 100 and attach the percent sign. Conversely, p% means p/100 of one whole. Squaring a decimal multiplies the decimal by itself before the percentage conversion.

Application

1. Square the decimal: 0.01 × 0.01 = 0.0001.

2. Convert the result to a percentage: 0.0001 × 100 = 0.01%.

3. Interpret the fractional percentage: 1/100% means one hundredth of one percent, which is 0.01%.

Cross-check

Converting 0.01% back to a decimal gives 0.01 ÷ 100 = 0.0001, the same as the square.

Result

Therefore, 0.01% and 1/100% both represent the required percentage.
