Thank you all.

move the decimal 2 places to the left

20% becomes .2 and this can be turned to fraction.

hero (hero):

% means division by 100 So 20% = 20/100

hero (hero):

So anytime you're given a number with a "per cent" just change it to n/100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just think of the word percent per cent and cent means 100 in latin

hero (hero):

And don't forget to simplify
