Answer 2

To convert a Percent to a Fraction follow these steps:
Step 1: Write down the percent divided by 100 like this: percent100
Step 2: If the percent is not a whole number, then multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point. (For example, if there is one number after the decimal, then use 10, if there are two then use 100, etc.)
Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the fraction


Example: Convert 11% to a fraction
Step 1: Write down:

11100

Step 2: The percent is a whole number, go straight to step 3.

Step 3: The fraction cannot be simplified further.

× 10
right over arrow
62.5100 = 6251000
right under arrow
× 10
(See how this neatly makes the top a whole number?)

Step 3: Simplify the fraction (this took me two steps, you may be able to do it one!) :

÷ 25 ÷ 5
right over arrow right over arrow
6251000 = 2540 = 58
right under arrow right under arrow
