Percent can be used to represent a part-to-whole relationship with a whole of 100. The symbol % means "out of 100." Define percent in your own words. Then describe how to write fractions and decimals as percents. Your answer

Answer

In other words, percentage is used to express how large the number is when 100 represents the whole thing.

Expressing fractions and decimals as percentages is quite easy, it just involves multiplying the given fraction or decimal by 100%. For example,

(1/2) = (1/2) × 100% = 50%

0.35 = 0.35 × 100% = 35%

etc.

Hope this Helps!!!
