Question

Which of the following numbers is the decimal equivalent of 80%?

Answer

80% can be thought of as 80% of one. Percents also refer to numbers out of 100, thus, our decimal can be calculated by taking 80/100. This would result in 8/10 after simplifying, which is equivalent to 0.8.

80% = 80/100 = 8/10 = "eight tenths," or 0.8

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Andre borrows $80 from you. If he pays you back 40% of that money, how much money is he giving you?

Answer

To find 40% of $80, you must turn 40% into a decimal.

Question

What is the simplest fraction that represents 88%?

Answer

The word percent, or per cent, means of every one hundred, so 88% can be expressed:

$88%=\frac{88}{100}=\frac{2\cdot 44}{4\cdot 50}=\frac{44}{50} =\frac{2\cdot 22}{2\cdot 25}=\frac{22}{25}$

Question

Fill in the missing information.

$\small \frac{4}{10}= \square = 40%$

Answer

When reading $\small \frac{4}{10}$ aloud it reads out of $\small 10$ , or "four tenths." This "four tenths" as a decimal is literally written $\small 0.40$ .

We could also use the other term given to find our answer. Decimals are found from percentages by moving the decimal point two places to the left. Given $\small 40%$ , the decimal moved results in $\small 0.40$ .

Question

Solve the problem and convert the answer to a percentage.

$\small 1.18-0.30 = \square$

Answer

$\small 1.18 -0.30 = 0.88$ . To convert $\small .88$ to a percentage, the decimal is moved two places to the right, resulting in $\small 88%$ .

Alternatively, we would have converted the decimals to percetages from the beginnging. $\small 118% - 30% = 88%$ , to do this we started with the decimal numbers given and moved the decimal point to the right two places.

Question

Convert this percentage to a decimal.

Answer

Given the percentage $\small 43.29%$ , the decimal point must be moved two decimal places to the left, resulting in

This decimal can further be written as fraction,

$\small \frac{4329}{10,000}$ which when reduced $\small = \frac{43.29}{100}$ .

Since percentages represent part of a whole, or part of 100, is the final answer.
