Step by Step Solution
To convert 42.5 percent to a fraction follow these steps:
Step 1: Write down the percent divided by 100 like this:
42.5% = 42.5/100
Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:
As we have 1 digit after the decimal point, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 10, or, simply shift 1 decimal place to the right. So,
42.5/100 = (42.5 x 10)/(100 x 10) = 425/1000.
Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the above fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) between them. In this case, GCD(425,1000) = 25. So,
(425÷25)/(1000÷25) = 17/40 when reduced to the simplest form.
