Transform decimal number to percentage and integer python

Question

I have a column that I need to transform its value to percentage.

example
I have the value 0.166978 and I need to transform it into 16.70%

I did it as follows

df['EXAMPLE'] = df[['EXAMPLE']].applymap("{:.4f}%".format)

and got

0.1670%

How do I change these decimal places
to get 16.70%

When I multiply by some value eg 10, 100 it looks like this
0.1670%0.1670%0.1670%0.1670%0.1670%0.1670%0.16…
