PERCENTAGE
Percentage can be defined as an amount of something in each hundred.
Percentage symbol is %
Percentage = 100
Fraction = 1
There is always a relation between fraction and percentage, and every fraction can be changed into percentage.
A fraction can be changed into a percentage simply by multiplying the fraction by a 100
Therefore if something is said to be 25%, we say there are 25 parts out of 100.
If we say 25 % of the people are boys, therefore 25 out of 100 people are boys, it does not necessarily mean that there has to be 100 people in the class, before we say 25 % of the students are boys.
Note: Concepts of fractions and Decimals have connections with percentages. They are relations between them.
Let's say half can be written in
Percentages as : 50%
Fractions as : 1/2
Decimals as : 0.5
Three-Quarter can be written in
Percentages as 75%
Fractions as 3/4
Decimals as 0.75
