What is 36 percent as a fraction in its lowest term?

Answer 1

first you must change the percent to a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left: 36% --> 0.36

then say the decimal out loud, so it would be easier to write the fraction: 0.36=thirty-six hundredths

now, it is slightly easier to write the fraction: thirty-six hundredths= 36/100

both are divisible by four so you do 36 divided by four (9) and 100 divided by four as well (25). now you cant simplify anymore, so 9/25 is your final answer.

Answer 2

36% = 36/100 = 9/25

Answer 3

9/25
