Percent: From the Latin per centum. Per, "for each", as is
"One per student. Centum, "hundred" Century, Cent,
Centimeter, Centipede
100% = 100 = 1
100
**Fractions, Decimals, & Percents are three different
ways of expressing the same amount. All three express
a single number based on the relationship (ratio)
between two other numbers.
50% = 50 = 1 = .5
100 2
5% = 05 = 1 = .05
100 20
Since the % sign cannot be +, -, x, ÷; numbers expressed
as percents must be changed to a decimal or fraction
before any calculations can be made.
5. Fractions Decimals Percents
A. To change a decimal to a percent: Move the
decimal 2 places to the right and add the % sign.
