This will be the same fraction represented by a decimal. Once we have a fraction with 100 for the denominator, we can just write the numerator with a percentage symbol to get our answer. This gives us an answer of 10%.
For example, if we look at the percentage 50%, that means we have 50 pieces of the possible 100. Re-writing this in fraction form, we see 50/100. Re-writing the result as a percentage, we can see that 40/100 as a percentage is 40%.
Discover how to calculate percentages with this simple method. First, write the problem as a fraction, then simplify it.Next, convert the fraction to a percentage by making the denominator 100. Alternatively, divide the numbers to get a decimal and multiply by 100 to find the percentage.
To solve percent problems, you can use the equation, Percent ⋅ Base = Amount , and solve for the unknown numbers. Or, you can set up the proportion, Percent = amount base , where the percent is a ratio of a number to 100. You can then use cross multiplication to solve the proportion.
