Study Notes
Converting Fractions to Percentages
- All percentages can be represented as a ratio with the denominator as 100.
- Converting fractions to percentages and vice versa is useful for calculations.
- Common fractions and their percentage conversions should be learned, such as:
- 1/2 = 50%
- 1/3 = 33.33%
- 1/4 = 25%
- 1/7 = 14.28%
- 1/8 = 12.5%
- 1/9 = 11.11%
- 1/10 = 10%
Solving Percentage Problems
- To find a percentage of a number, multiply the number by the ratio equivalent to the percentage.
- For example, 14.28% of 560 = (1/7) × 560 = 80.
- To find a percentage when the ratio is not exact, convert the ratio to an equivalent fraction and then multiply. For example, 37.5% of 720 = (3/8) × 720 = 270.
Understanding Percentages
- A percentage is essentially a ratio.
- For example, 25% of a certain number of sweets means 25 out of 100 sweets, or 9 out of 36 sweets, or 1 out of 4 sweets.
- This ratio approach can be used to understand and calculate percentage problems.
