How to find a fraction from a percentage - Algebra 1

This is just a simple problem of translation. We know that and can translate the rest of the problem into this form: . Merely multiply and get the answer, namely .

is easier to simplify if you multiply top and bottom by 2.

Then it becomes .

Divide the numerator and denominator by 25 and you get .

To display a percentage as a fraction, divide the number of percent by 100 to give you .

The reduction of the value of a car by 10% is the same as the car retaining 90%, or , of its value.

If a car is worth when new, then it is worth after one year. Its value after two years will be times its value after one year, or . After three years, it will be times its value after two years, or .

When finding the fraction from a percent, express that value over .

We now have

.

We simplify it by dividing top and bottom by .

Final answer is .

To convert a percentage into a fraction, remove the percentage sign and divide the number by 100.

First, we take that value and divide over .

We have

.

Next, since there is a decimal present, we shift that decimal one place so we have a whole number. Since we did that to the top, we add one zero to the bottom since we shifted one place. We have

.

To reduce, we divide top and bottom by

to get as the final answer.

We take that value and divide that over .

We get

.

Next we can reduce by taking one zero from top and bottom and also divide top and bottom by .

This gives us an answer of .

First, take the decimal and divide over .

We have

.

Then, shift the decimal one place to the right which means we add a to the denominator.

Final answer is .

First, take the decimal and divide over .

We have

.

Then, shift the decimal one place to the right which means we add a to the denominator.

We have .

We divide top and bottom by

and get as the final answer.

First, take the decimal and divide over .

We have

.

Then, shift the decimal two places to the right which means we add two s to the denominator.

We have .

Then if we divide top and bottom by ,

final answer will become .

First, let's convert the fraction into a decimal. By dividing into we get .

Then, we take the new value and place it over .

We have

.

Then, shift the decimal one place to the right which means we add one to the denominator.

We have .

Then if we divide top and bottom by ,

final answer will become .

First, take the decimal and divide over .

We have

.

Then, shift the decimal two places to the right which means we add two s to the denominator.

We have .

We have

.

Then, shift the decimal one places to the right which means we add one to the denominator.

We have .

The bar on top means repeating decimals. Let's convert the percent to a decimal. We shift the decimal two places to the left.

The value is then . Let's say is .

If we multiply both sides by , we get .

If we subtract both equations, we get .

Percentages are equivalent to parts of a whole, or part of . then is equivalent to just like is equivalent to , and is equivalent to . An easy way to remember percentage to fraction conversions is to simply write the percentage over one hundred. Any percentage can be placed over one hundred and then reduced.

Further more, we are able to reduce this fraction by finding common factors in both the numerator and the denominator.

By canceling out the five in the numerator and the denominator we get our reduced fraction form and final answer of,

.
