How to express fractions in percentage?
A percentage is a number or a ratio expressed as a fraction over 100. For example, 40% in fraction form is known as 40/100. 52% is known as 52/100.
For example if the fraction is 17/20, we already know that a percentage is a number expressed as a fraction over 100. Thus, in order to convert this fraction into a percentage, we would have to multiply the denominator by a certain number in order to make it 100. Thus;
17/20 = y/100
If we multiply 20 × 5 we will get 100 as the denominator and so now we have to do the same for the numerator, and also multiply it by 5 to get;
17 × 5 = 85
Now we know that the fraction is 85/100. Thus, in order to convert it into percentage form, it would just be 85%.
