What is a Percentage?
A percentage is a way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100. It is often denoted using the percent sign, “%”, or the abbreviations “pct.”, “pct”; sometimes the abbreviation “pc” is also used. A percentage is a dimensionless number (pure number); it has no unit of measurement.
For example, saying “51 out of 60 as a percentage” would mean that 51 is the numerator and 60 is the denominator, and the answer would be 85%. So, to convert a fraction to a percent, divide the top number of the fraction by the bottom number of the fraction, then multiply by 100.
What is a Decimal?
Decimals are numbers that are less than one whole number. In other words, they are numbers that have a decimal point after the first digit. For example, 0.5, 0.75, 1.25, and 2.5 are all decimal numbers. Basically, if a number has a decimal point anywhere after the first digit, it is a decimal number.
What is a Fraction?
In order to understand what a fraction is, we need to break down the word itself. A fraction is made up of two parts: the numerator and the denominator. The numerator is the number above the fraction line, and it represents how many parts you have. The denominator is the number below the fraction line, and it represents how many parts there are in total. So, a fraction like 3/4 would be read as “three-fourths” or “three over four.”
How to Convert a Decimal to a Percentage
To convert a decimal to a percentage, multiply the decimal by 100 and add the “%” sign.
For example, 0.51 as a percentage is 51%.
How to Convert a Fraction to a Percentage
There are a few steps in converting fractions to percentages, and we’ll go through each one using the example: 51 out of 60 as a percentage.
Converting a fraction to a percentage is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Here are the basic steps:
1. Multiply the top number of the fraction (in our case, 51) by 100.
2. Divide the result by the bottom number of the fraction (in our case, 60).
3. Add the percentage sign (%) to express your answer as a percent.
Here’s how that would work out for our example:
`51 x 100 = 5100`
`5100/60 = 85`
`85%`
How to Convert a Percentage to a Decimal
To convert a percent to a decimal, simply divide by 100. So, 51% would be equal to 0.51 in decimal form.
How to Convert a Percentage to a Fraction
Percentages, fractions, and decimals are different ways of representing the same thing. Fractions are maybe the most natural way to think about numbers, but they can be a bit tricky when you’re first learning. Here’s a quick review of how to convert a percentage to a fraction.
To convert a percentage to a fraction, you divide the percentage by 100 and reduce the fraction (if possible). For example,
51% = 51/100 = 17/34
To convert a fraction to a percentage, you multiply the numerator (top number) by 100 and divide by the denominator (bottom number). For example,
17/34 = 17*100/34 = 50.59%
How to Calculate a Percentage of a Number
To calculate a percentage of a number, we first convert the percentage to a decimal. We then multiply this decimal by the number. To convert a percentage to a decimal, we simply divide by 100. For example, 51% = 51/100 = 0.51.
Once we have the decimal, we can multiply it by the number. In our example, if we want to find out what 51% of 60 is, we would multiply 0.51 by 60:
0.51 × 60 = 30.6
This means that 51% of 60 is 30.6.
What is 51 out of 60 as a Percentage?
