Datatype conversion for Displaying

Hi

There is a variable which is stored internally in the form of Decimal( Length: 3 & Dec. Plcs:2 ). For Eg., X = 0.50.

I want to display this variable on the UI as X = 50%.

Is there an in-built feature to convert the datatype of this variable just for the purpose of displaying and without changing the internal datatype( decimal ).

Please help.

Thanks
