Find the Denominator

A percentage is a number out of 100, so we need to make our denominator 100!

If the original denominator is 25, we need to solve for how we can make the denominator 100.

To convert this fraction, we would divide 100 by 25, which gives us 4.

Find the Numerator

Now, we multiply 4 by 17, our original numerator, which is equal to 68

Fractions: brief introduction

A fraction consists of two numbers and the fraction bar:

17/25

The number above the fraction bar is the numerator: 17

The number under the fraction bar is the denominator: 25

To get the fraction's value, divide the numerator by the denominator:

The value = 17 ÷ 25

Percent, p%: short introduction

'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':

p% = p 'out of one hundred',

p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100.

How to convert a fraction to a percentage:

1) Calculate the value of the fraction.

2) Multiply this number by 100.

3) Add the percent sign %

Convert the fraction to a percentage

1. Calculate the value of the fraction.

To get the fraction's value, divide the numerator by the denominator:

17/25 =

17 ÷ 25 =

0.68

A quick note:

100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 100% = 1

Multiply a number by the fraction 100/100
... and its value doesn't change.

n × 100/100 = n × 1 = n, any number n

2. The calculation of the percentage:

0.68 =

0.68 × 100/100 =

(0.68 × 100)/100 =

68/100 =

68%

The answer:

17/25 = 68% Divide the numerator by the denominator, multiply the result by 100 and add the percent sign %

The symbols used: % percent, ÷ division, × multiplication, = the equal sign, / the fraction bar, ≈ approximately the same. Writing numbers: comma ',' - as a thousands separator, point '.' as a decimal mark.

Converting integer or decimal numbers, fractions, proportions and ratios to percentages

It's very simple to write a fraction (a proportion or a ratio) or a decimal number as a percentage.

To convert a fraction:

• - start by dividing the numerator by the denominator
• - then multiply the result by 100%
• By multiplying the result by 100% the value we've got at the previous step is not modified, since 100% = 100/100 = 1
• By multiplying by 100% only the form is being changed - it's written as a percentage.

It's even simpler to write an integer or decimal number as a percentage:

• - simply multiply the number by 100%

Examples

• 1/4 = 0.25 = 0.25 × 100% = (0.25 × 100)% = 25%;
• 7/8 = 0.875 = 0.875 × 100% = (0.875 × 100)% = 87.5%
• 1.3/9.4 ≈ 0.138297 = 0.138297 × 100% = (0.138297 × 100)% = 13.8297%
• 4.3 = 4.3 × 100% = (4.3 × 100)% = 430%;
