No, they are not.
Percents are used to calculate tax on EVERY store purchase,and to calculate discounts on every "special" or "bargain".If you can't calculate percents, you can't catch mistakes or avoid being cheated.
No but percentages are ratios.
12.8 = 1,280%
1.4 = 140%
5%=.5 Divide the percentage by 100 to change it to a decimal: 5% = 5/100 = .05
No one invented percents.
20 percents
percents are numbers over 100
They are all the same, fractions can be turned into percents and percents can be turned into fractions. hope that helps :)
Percents are 100 times larger (and that is by definition!).
Percents are basically decimals, and we use decimals as numbers with extra, tiny proportions. Percents are just ways to make those decimals into a whole, more friendlier number. But, percents can also be made with decimals as well.
lawyers use percents when figureing out prices and taxes of houses
No, they are not.
Percents are easier since they don't need to be converted. It saves a step.
