| 33 | +// The function now correctly takes a decimal number as input, converts it to a percentage by multiplying it by 100, |
| 34 | +// and returns the result as a string with a '%' sign appended. The redeclaration error has been fixed by removing the |
| 35 | +// unnecessary declaration of 'decimalNumber' inside the function. The function can now be called with a decimal number, |
| 36 | +// and it will return the corresponding percentage string. |
| 37 | +console.log(convertToPercentage(0.5)); // "50%" |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +// The function now works correctly and returns the expected output without any errors. |
