to change fraction to percentage always divide the bottom number into the top number. Then move the decimal to the right 2 spaces.     56.25

Divide top number of the fraction by the bottom number \n(1/4 = divide 1 by 4 = 0.25) That is fraction to decimal. \nTo get percentage just multiply by 100. \nSo the 0.25 becomes 25, or 25%\n\n: - )

Percentages refer to fractions of a whole; that is, whatever you're looking at, the percentage is how much of the whole thing you have. For instance, "50%" means " 1/2 "; "25%" means " 1/4 "; "40%" means " 2/5 "; et cetera.\n\nOften you will need to figure out what percentage of something another thing is. For instance, if a class has 26 students, and 14 are female, what percentage of the students are female?  It is 14 out of 26, or 14/26 = 0.538461538462..., or about 54%. (For more information on percent word problems, look at the Percent of lesson.)\n\n"Percent" is actually "per cent", meaning "out of a hundred". (I think it's Latin.) You can use this fact, along with the fact that fractions mean division, to convert between fractions, percents, and decimals.\n\nPercent to Decimal\n\nPercent-to-decimal conversions are easy; you mostly just move the decimal point two places. The way I keep it straight is to remember that 50%, or one-half, of a dollar is $0.50. In other words, you have to move the decimal point two places to the left when you convert from a percent (50%) to a decimal (0.50). Some more examples are:\n\n      27% = 0.27\n      104% = 1.04\n      0.5% = 0.005\n\nPercent to Fraction\n\nPercent-to-fraction conversions aren't too bad. This is where you use the fact that "percent" means "out of a hundred". Convert the percent to a decimal, and then to a fraction.

% means divided by 100 so you just move the decimal 2 places to the left & drop the % sign\n7.8%=.078

its actually really simple to figure out 15%.  10% of 520 is obviously 52 (just move the decimal over one place, thereby removing the zero) and since u need 15%, you need 10%+ 5%, right?  so half of the 10% (52) is 5% which is 26.  Now add 52 and 26 and u get 78!   even if ur totally not a math person, dont get thrown off, any percent ending in a zero or 5 (10, 25, 50 etc) are really simple to do this way!

Here are your answers\na) 55% = 0.55\nb) 60% = 0.6\nc) 65.5% = 0.655\nd) 84.6% = 0.846\n\nHere is an easy rule to follow.  Put the decimal point in front of the percent and you will always be right..when less then 10% then include a zero before the number.\n\nexamples\n\n2% = .02\n4% = .04\n\n35.4 % = .354\n\nand one they might give you to try to confuse you\n\n24.06% = .2406\n\nuse this method and you should ace it, 100%  (which equals 1.0) correct!!!

to convert from decimal to percentage, just multiply the decimal by 100, but remember to put the "%" sign so people know it is per 100

you can work that in your head just by moving the point:\n10% is 443.7\n1% is 44.37\nso 443.7 + 44.37 + 44.37 = 532.44 !

I suppose the percentage must be token from 25.\n25 - 100% = 25 - 25 = 0\n25 - 25% = 25 - 25x25/100 = 25 - (6 + 1/4) = 18 + 3/4\n\nWhen I see the percentage just as a number, then\n25 - 100% = 25 - 1 = 24\n25 - 25% = 25 - 1/4 = 24 + 3/4

Using proportions you can do the math later to find out how to get to the numbers, but basically it goes something like this;\n\nA = 4.00 - 3.50 = 100% - 90%\nB = 3.49 - 3.00 = 89% - 80%\nC = 2.99 - 2.50 = 79% - 70%\nD = 2.49 - 2.00 = 69% - 60%\nF = 1.99  -  0    = 59%  -  0%

well... if you want them to approximate... \n\nPercent basically breaks down to "per 100"... cent meaing 100.\n\nSo, have them move the decimal place in both numbers to the point where you're getting a number close to 100.\n\nin this case 99.26 and 109.35\n\nApproximating 99 and 110 so it'd be something like 90-92%

Even though this appears simple, it is slightly tricky.\n\nPart (a ) is to convert 4&3/4 to a decimal and Percent\n\n4 3/4 = 4.75 as a decimal.\n\nAs a percentage, we can calculate\n\n4.75 divided by 100 times 100% is again 4.75%\n\n(Note: If we calculate 4.75 in relation to 1, then in percentage terms this equals 475%)\n\nPart (b) is to convert 4&3/4% to a fraction and a decimal\n\n4&3/4% = 0.0475 as a decimal and 19/400 as a fraction.

percents are really a fraction\n\n12%=12/100\nso 12 % of 12.59=\n12/100 * 12.59

That answer doesn't seem right.\n\n2/3% = .66% =.0066\n\n.0066(?) = 33.3\n? = 33.3/.0066\n?= 5045\n\n(very rough)\n\nHere's some finesse\n\n((2/3)/100)?=33.3\n((2/3)/(100/1))?=33.3\n((2/3)*(1/100))?=33.3\n(2/300)?=33.3\n?=33.3*(300/2)\n?=33.3*150\n4995=?

"Percent" literally means divide by 100 (per = divide, cent = 100).  Simply divide by 100 when you see the % symbol, and you will get the decimal form.  Dividing by 100 only affects the decimal places.  It moves the decimal left two places.  So yes, 4.31 is the decimal form of 431%.

.47\n\n47/100 \n\nSo that you understand it, everytime you want to change a percentage to decimal, you take out the % and divide it between 100\n\nFor decimals, you take out the % and write the number you have above (here/100) 100\n\nHope it helps, have a nice day
