4/5 = you divide it so you get 0.8 which is 80%

Given the goal kicker has made 4 out of 5 of the extra points

So that is written as
(4)/(5)

Now we need to find what percent of 5 is 4

To convert any fraction to its percentage, we simply need to multiply 100 to it

Now we have


(4)/(5) X 100

=
(4X100)/(5)

=
(400)/(5)

=80

So the answer is 80%

The goal kicker has made 80% of the 5 extra points
