Question

which percent is equivalent to 5 1/20
So make the fraction into a percent?

Answer 1

multiple by 100 it will be 255%

Answer 2

i guess you have problems with percents

Answer 3

It's still parts per hundred.

5 + 1/20 = 500/100 + 5/100 = 505/100 = 505%

I think sparrow interpreted your notation as \(\dfrac{51}{20}\).

Answer 4

Don't post questions without showing YOUR work.

Answer 5

tkhunny is correct! Solving with fractions is always easier. Think of it as 1 = 100% but the 1 over one hundred = 1%. Make sense?
