how do you write fractions as percents? ex- 19/20 as a percent??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.95

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide 19/20 and multiply result by 100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

95 100ths = .95

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 95%??!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

95 100ths = .95 *100 = 95%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes 19 is 95% of 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 1/5 would be 20%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

think about it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sweet thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ya makes sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cause theres 20 5x is 100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you have a pie cut into 5 pieces, 5/5 = 100% 20% + 20% + 20% + 20% + 20% =100%
