🛎️ What Is a Percentage?
- A percentage means “out of 100” (e.g. 70% = 70/100).
- It is another way of writing a fraction with denominator 100.
🛎️ Converting Fractions to Percentages
- Change the fraction so the denominator is 100. For example, 6/25 = 24/100 = 24%.
- You can do this by expanding or simplifying the fraction.
🛎️ Finding a Percentage of a Total
- To find a percentage, divide the part by the total and multiply by 100 (e.g. 8/20 = 40%).
- All parts together should add up to 100% (e.g. 40% + 60% = 100%).
