You can put this solution on YOUR website!
No your first guess was correct. 0.06 is 6%. To be sure multiply 0.06 by 100 to get 

      100
     0.06
 -----------
      600
     0000
    -------
      600


Now move the decimal 2 places to the left to go from 600 to 6. So this new number is your percentage.
