24% converted to a fraction = ?

Question

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

what is 24 percent a representative of? for example $\frac{100}{100}$ is a representative of 100 %

wolf1728 · Answer

24% = 24/100 =12/50 =6/25

anonymous · Answer

oh ok, I see.

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

yes it would basically be $\frac{24}{100}$ or 24 out of 100... but that can be simplified down to $\frac{12}{50}$ and then from there you can get to the final form of $\frac{6}{25}$

Got it, thank you very much to you both. :)

As I've said here many times per cent literally means for every hundred.

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

right, a fraction is usually a number out of a hundred. Of course, it could also be out of a thousand if you are dealing with larger percentages... but I'm glad you understand :P
