How to change percentages, into
fractions and decimals
A percentage is a special
fraction.
The % says, “per hundred.”
For example, 47%, is simply another
way of writing the fraction 47/100
You can almost see the 100 in the
percentage sign
The 1
The
noughts
Percentage Fraction
7% 7/100
19% 19/100
83% 83/100
Etc.
24% = 24/100 12/50 6/25
So to write a percentage as a
fraction, you simply put it
over 100 like this:
24% = 24/100
Yes, but remember to try
to write the fraction in its
simplest terms

To change a fraction into a decimal, you divide the
bottom number (the denominator) into the top number
(numerator). For example, to change ¾ into a
decimal, you would divide the 3 by the 4.
¾
3 ÷ 4 = 0.75
Remember that a percentage is a
fraction always has 100 as its
denominator
So, to change a percentage into a
decimal, you always divide by
100

change this into a decimal, you divide 35 by
100
35% 0.35

Precentage to quantity
Finding one quantity as a percentage of
another quantity
Jill obtained a
score of 23 out
of 32 in a
science test.
She wants to
know what this
will be as a
percentage?
To do this, you
• Write the result as a fraction
23/32
• 4. 72%
• Change the fraction into a
decimal (23 ÷ 32 = 0.71875)
• Change the decimal into a %
(0.71875 X 100 = 71.9%)
There are lots of similar problems and all of
these can be tackled in the same way
1. Write the quantities as a fraction
23/32
2. Change the fraction into a decimal (23 ÷ 32 =
0.71875). It’s probably a good idea to round off to
2 decimal places.
3. Change the decimal into a % (0.72 X 100 =72%)
4. So, 23 is 72% of 32
The total
quantity
The quantity that
you want as a %

What is
12% 0f
34?
What is 13%

23% = 0.23 and ‘of’ X
0.23 X 45 = 10.35
Finding Percentages of Different Numbers
Problem:
In a survey of 120 pupils it was found that 20% had
personal stereos. How many pupils had personal
stereos?
Change the percentage to a decimal, then multiply by the

1. 25% of 32
2. 75% of 36
3. 80% of 35
4. 10% of 142
5. 20% of 60
6. 35% of 70
