For example:


Convert 9/10 into a percentage. Here's what you do:



  • First, you divide .9 into 10.00
  • Your answer is .90. So then you just call it 90%.

RULE:


All you have to do to is convert the fraction to a decimal, then just forget about the decimal and change it to a percent (%).


It's really easy once you get the hang of it :)


Hope this helped!

Put the number over 100. For example: 25% = 25/100 or 1/4. 37% = 37/100.

After the number is in fraction form, devide the Numerator (top number) and the denominator (bottom number) by a number that is divisible by both. This will reduce the number (fraction) to a smaller fraction. In the 25% case, 25/100 (divide by numbers by 5) turns into 5/20. You can continue this process until you have reduced it to its lowest form, (again dividing by 5) 1/4.

Divide the denominator into the numerator. Multiply the result by 100.

3/4 = 0.75 = 75%
