690 & 490 can be written as a fraction

which would be 680/490, how do I find the percentage?

  • you have to find an equivalent fraction with denominator of 100 for the problem we"ll get
    (680)/(490) x(100)/(100) ( 680/490 x 100/100 )
  • Next divide the top and the bottom, 680 into 100 ( 680 x 100 ) and the bottom which would be 490 into 100 ( 490 x100 )
  • ,
    (680x100)/(490) x
    (1)/(100) if you cannot see: ( 680 x 100/490 x 1/100
  • Equation you have is:
    (680 x 100)/(490) x (1)/(100) = (138.78)/(100)
  • The final answer will be 138.78%, so the percentage is 138.78%. If your trying to figure it out on the calculator just type 680 divided by 490x100 which will also give the answer.
