Answer:

Percentage is parts of 100.

Note that the % sign is like units of measurement. Its value to be considered as:

1

100

An example: 2% is the same as

2

×

1

100

=

2

100

So the

16

2

3

%

is the same as

16

2

3

×

1

100

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Write

16

3

as

16

+

Change into fractions of 100 parts

But

Now we have

16

100

+

2

×

1

3

×

100

16

100

+

2

300

Before we can add these directly we need to make the bottom numbers the same (denominators)

Need to change the 100 in

16

100

into 300.

Multiply by 1 but in the form of

3

16

100

×

3

+

2

300

=

48

300

+

2

300

=

50

300

Simplifying gives:

=

50

÷

10

300

÷

10

=

5

30

=

5

÷

Explanation:

%

means 'out of 100'

So

29

%

means

29

100

Sometimes the fraction can be simplified:

35

%

=

35

100

=

7

20

In this case we have a mixed number as a percent.

Change it into an improper fraction:

16

2

3

%

=

50

3

%

Write it in the same way as before:

50

3

100

This actually means:

50

3

÷

100

1

=

50

3

×

1

100

multiply by the reciprocal

Simplify:

50

=

You can also use the short cut rule:
