Percent: Measured in hundredths
Hundredth Means:
Take any object or item and divide it into hundred equal parts. One part we call the hundredth.
x percent means x hundredths
26% means 26 hundredths
Divide into a hundred equal parts. Take 26 parts out of those hundred parts.
Percent written in fractions:
56% written as 56/100
Take 56 parts out of hundred parts. So we write 56/100
= 14/25 = 0.56
The decimal fraction is 0.56
Example:
0.6% = 0.6/100 = 6/1000 = 0.006
Fraction to percent:
Example 1:
23/36 convert to percent multiplied by 100
26 out of 36 parts is (26/36)*100
= 63.8%
Example 2:
6 3/4 = 27/4
= (27/4) *100 = 675%
Important: Percentage value can be greater than 100.
Example:
Actual salary is 1000
salary increased to 5000.
400% increase in salary
Example:
28% of 450 + 45% of 280 = ?
(28/100) * 45 + (45/100) * 280
= 126 + 126
= 252
