Step-by-step explanation: To write a percent as a fraction in lowest terms, remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100. In this example, 88% can be written as the ratio 88 to 100 or 88/100. Notice however that 88/100 is not in lowest terms so we need to divide both the numerator and denominator by 4 to get 22/25.
Therefore, 88% can be written as the fraction 22/25.
Step-by-step explanation: To write a percent as a decimal, first remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100. We can think of 88% as the ratio 88 to 100 or 88 divided by 100. Remember that dividing by 100 moves the decimal point two places to the left so 88 divided by 100 would move the decimal point two places to the left which would give us .88 or 0.88.
Therefore, 88% can be written as the decimal 0.82.
