Question

How do you convert a percent to a fraction?

Answer 1

To convert the percent into a fraction, divide it by 100 and remove the % symbol. Then, multiply the fraction to its lowest term.

For example:

`\sf{12 \: \% \: = (12)/(100) = (3)/(25) } \:`

`\sf{65\% \: = (65)/(100) = (13)/(20) }`

`\underline{ \sf{some \: facts \: about \: percentage}}`

`\star` Percentage are fractions whose denominators are 100

`\star` A fraction can be expressed as a percentage by converting it into an equivalent fraction with 100 as a denominator.

`\star` We can convert a fraction to a percent by multiplying it by 100 and the % symbol.

`\star` A fraction with denominator 100 can be written as a percentage by writing the numerator with the % symbol.

`\star` To convert a percentage to a decimal , divide it with 100 i.e move the decimal the places to the left.

`\star` To convert a percentage to a fraction , divide it by 100 and reduce it to the lowest term.

Answer 2

Step 1: Write down the percent divided by 100 like this:
`(percent)/(100)`

Step 2: If the percent is not a whole number, then multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point. (For example, if there is one number after the decimal, then use 10, if there are two then use 100, etc.)

Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the fraction

Explanation:

Example:

Step 1: Write down:

`(11)/(100)`

Step 2: The percent is a whole number, go straight to step 3.

Step 3: The fraction cannot be simplified further.
