Question

Mrs Fowler originally planned to 65% of her budget on her hotel room. Show 65% as a decimal and a fraction please show how you got it

Answer 1

To convert a percentage to a decimal, you would remove the percent and move the decimal point two places to the left.
65% = 0.65

To convert a percentage to a fraction, you would remove the percent and place the number over 1. Then, you would multiply the top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point... And, finally, reduce it.
65% = 65/100
65/100 = 13/20

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

For the decimal you're supposed to put the point two spaces to the left. You get .65. And .65 is the same thing as 65/100. Since it's literally 65 out of 100
