Conversion of Fraction into Percentage
We know that: x as a percentage of y = (x/y) × 100%
We already have a fraction, i.e. we already know 𝑥/𝑦
So, to convert a fraction into a percentage, multiply the fraction by 100 and put ‘%’ sign.
Q. Convert 1/2 into percentage
Explanation:
$\frac{1}{2}$ × 100 = 50%
Q. Convert 14/5 into percentage
Explanation:
$\frac{14}{5}$ = $\frac{10}{5}$ + $\frac{4}{5}$ = 2 + $\frac{4}{5}$
Now, (2 + $\frac{4}{5}$) × 100 = 200% + 80% = 280%
Now, (2 + $\frac{4}{5}$) × 100 = 200% + 80% = 280%
Q. Convert 11/12 into percentage
Explanation:
$\frac{11}{12}$ = 1 - $\frac{1}{12}$
Now, (1 - $\frac{1}{12}$) × 100 = 100% - 8 $\frac{1}{3}$ = (100 – 9) + (1 - $\frac{1}{3}$) = 91 $\frac{2}{3}$ %
(this method will be faster than directly multiplying the percentage value of 1/12 by 11)
Now, (1 - $\frac{1}{12}$) × 100 = 100% - 8 $\frac{1}{3}$ = (100 – 9) + (1 - $\frac{1}{3}$) = 91 $\frac{2}{3}$ %
(this method will be faster than directly multiplying the percentage value of 1/12 by 11)
Conversion of Percentage into Fraction
We know that: x as a percentage of y = x/y × 100%
We already have the percentage. We just need to find out 𝑥/𝑦
So, to convert a percentage into a fraction, replace the ‘%’ sign with 1/100 and reduce the fraction to simplest form.
Q. Convert 20% into fraction
Explanation:
20% = 20/100 = 1/5
Q. Convert 166 $\frac{2}{3}$% into fraction
Explanation:
166 $\frac{2}{3}$% = 100% + 66 $\frac{2}{3}$% = 1 + 2/3 = 5/3
Q. Convert 457 $\frac{1}{7}$% into fraction
Explanation:
457 $\frac{1}{7}$% = 400% + 57 $\frac{1}{7}$% = 4 + 4/7 = 32/7
Q. Calculate 25% of 80
Explanation:
Using Percentage-Fraction Conversion method:
25% = 1/4
So, 25% of 80 = 80/4 = 20
25% = 1/4
So, 25% of 80 = 80/4 = 20
Q. Calculate 14.28% of 63
Explanation:
Using Percentage-Fraction Conversion method:
14.28% = 1/7
So, 14.28% of 63 = 63/7 = 9
14.28% = 1/7
So, 14.28% of 63 = 63/7 = 9
Q. Calculate 20.5% of 1455 – 13.33% of 915
Explanation:
20% of 1455 = 145.5 + 145.5 = 291
0.5% of 1455 = 7.275
So, 20.5% of 1455 = 291 + 7.275 = 298.275
0.5% of 1455 = 7.275
So, 20.5% of 1455 = 291 + 7.275 = 298.275
13.33% = 2/15
So, 13.33% of 915 = (915 × 2)/15 = 122
20.5% of 1455 – 13.33% of 915 = 298.275 – 122 = 176.275
