Question

Convert the following percentages into ratio
170%​

Answer 1

• As per the data given in the question, we have to determine the ratio of the given data.

            Given data:- $170\%.$

            To find:- Ratio of $170\%.$

            Solution:-

• A percentage is a fraction of an amount expressed as a particular number of hundredths of that amount.
• It is denoted by $\%.$ $1\%$ means $\frac{1}{100} .$
• We are using the unitary method to calculate the percentage of numbers.
• Fractions can be converted into percentages and vice-versa.

• Percentages are reversible. For example,$40\%\ of 30$  is the same a $30\% \ of 40.$  

       Therefore,

•  Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal.

           $170 \%=1.7$

• Step 2: Convert from decimal form to fraction.

            $1.7=\frac{17}{10}$

• Step 3: Rewrite as a ratio

          $\frac{17}{10}=17: 10.$

       Hence the ratio is $17:10.$
