how to change a fraction to a percent



I'll not explain.

Just give you an example.

1/8 = .125

.125 * 100% = 12.5%
_________________________________
An other one

13/63 = .20635

.20635 * 100% = 20.635%

Now, you got it?

[size=200]OR[/size]

If you want to change the denominator to 100 you have to do the rule of three!

1 = x
8...100

Supposed we have this. Take the 100, multiplicate it whit the 1. Now you will have 100/8 = x

Do the division. You'll have the numerator to put on the denominator 100!

12.5/100

It's the same thing, just represent differently!

Hope it's help!
