    How to change percentages, into
    fractions and decimals
    A percentage is a special
    fraction.
    The % says, “per hundred.”
    For example, 47%, is simply another

    way of writing the fraction 47/100


    You can almost see the 100 in the
    percentage sign

    Percentage Fraction
    7% 7/100
    19% 19/100
    83% 83/100
    Etc.
    So to write a percentage as a
    fraction, you simply put it
    over 100 like this:
    24% = 24/100

    Yes, but remember to try


    to write the fraction in its
    simplest terms

    24% = 24/100 12/50 6/25

    4. 20% 1/5 10. 48%
    5. 17% 11. 71%
    6. 78% 12. 36%
    To change a fraction into a decimal, you divide the
    bottom number (the denominator) into the top number
    (numerator). For example, to change ¾ into a
    decimal, you would divide the 3 by the 4.

    ¾ 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75

    Remember that a percentage is a


    fraction always has 100 as its
    denominator
    So, to change a percentage into a
    decimal, you always divide by
    100
    For example, 35% as a fraction is 35/100 so to
    change this into a decimal, you divide 35 by
    100

    35% ÷ 100 0.35
