What to Focus On

  • Percent means 'per hundred'.
  • Symbol for percent is '%'.
  • Percent is the numerator of a fraction with denominator 100.
  • Multiply fraction or decimal by 100 to get percent.
  • Always add the % symbol after the number.
  • Improper fractions can also be converted to percent (e.g., 7/4 = 175%).
  • Remove % and divide by 100 to convert to fraction or decimal.
  • Simplify the fraction to its lowest terms.
  • Dividing by 100 moves the decimal point two places to the left.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Percent means any part of a number, so 30% of 50 is just 30.

To convert a fraction to percent, just multiply numerator by 100 — so 3/4 becomes 300%.

When expressing one quantity as a percent of another, the units don't matter — so 50 cm as percent of 2 m is 50/2 × 100%.

Memory Tips
