It looks like you're converting fractions to percent, am I right?

anonymous · Answer

Just results i got.  Like, i asked what milkshake flavor people liked best...I have to covert these numbers to percentages that total 100% and im lost...

terenzreignz · Answer

Okay.  Let's take chocolate, for instance.  3 out of your 12 respondents picked chocolate, yes?

anonymous · Answer

yup ^^

terenzreignz · Answer

Okay, so the fraction is $$\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}$$right?

anonymous · Answer

I think so :)

terenzreignz · Answer

More confidence ;)
Anyway, to convert a fraction to percent, simply multiply it by 100
$$\huge \frac{1}{4}\times 100 = 25$$
And then affix the percent sign 
so 3/12 = 25%
