For example, 15% is equivalent to the decimal 0.15. Notice that dividing by 100 moves the decimal point two places to the left.
For percents,this is always done by simply dividing the percent (in this case 15%) by 100%. So, the conversational term "15%" becomes 15% / 100% = 0.15 in terms of a real mathematical number. 0.15 x $152.00=$22.80.
Solution: 0.15 as a fraction is 3/20.
∴ The simplest form 0. 15=3/20.
For example, 15% is equivalent to the decimal 0.15.
0.151515.... in fraction form is 5/33. In general, when we want to write a repeating decimal in fraction form, we use the following steps: Let x equal the repeating decimal giving the equation x = (repeating decimal).
12 percent when written as a fraction in its simplest form is 3/25.
Percentages can easily be converted to decimals.
Just divide the percentage by 100, and you are set. 15% is the same as 0.15.
Solution: 1/15 as a decimal is 0.067
As a result, you get 0.067 as your answer when you convert 1/15 to a decimal.
To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide by 100. So 25% is 25/100, or 0.25.
Answer: 15% of 100 is 15.
Figuring out the tip
If your total bill is $200 and you want to tip 15%, work out the tip by multiplying the total bill by 0.15. You can then add this amount to your bill when it comes to pay. Simple. Or alternatively, you can multiply the bill excluding service by 1.15 (assuming you want to leave that same 15% tip).
Percentage Formula
To determine the percentage, we have to divide the value by the total value and then multiply the resultant by 100.
A terminating decimal is a decimal, that has an end digit. It is a decimal, which has a finite number of digits(or terms). Example: 0.15, 0.86, etc.
Any non-terminating and non-recurring decimal between 0.15 and 0.16 will be an irrational number like 0.151551555 ...
Multiply 0.15 and 100 to get 15.
Repeated decimals can be converted into fractions by shifting the decimal to the right and subtracting the decimals. To do this, multiply the number by 10 to the second power, then subtract. For example, 0.363636 repeating is 4/11 and 0.7141414 repeating is 707/990.
The 15 percent of 60 is equal to 9. It can be easily calculated by dividing 15 by 100 and multiplying the answer with 60 to get 9.
To take out a percentage of marks, first convert the marks to a fraction. To do this, divide the number of marks by the total number of marks possible. For example, if you have 80 out of 100 marks, your fraction would be 80/100. You can then convert this to a percentage by multiplying by 100.
