CONCEPT OF
DECIMAL
 Decimal
Is a representation of a
fraction whose denominator
is a multiple of 10.

CONCEPT OF
PERCENT
 PERCENT
Which means “per
hundred” is a
representation of a fraction
whose denominator is 100.
Thus, expressing a number
in percent is like comparing
it with 100.

b. Express decimal to a
percent.

Expressing Fractions to Decimals and Percent Forms

 Illustrative Example:
Problem 1:
Express as a decimal and as a percent.

Divide the numerator by the

Write as a decimal - = 45 denominator 45 = 0.8

To write the decimal as a percent,

Write as a percent - 0 .8=80 % move the decimal point
Two places to the right.

Answer is - = 0.8 = 80%

 Illustrative Example:
Problem 2:
Express 3 as a decimal and as a percent.

Write the mixed fraction as 3 wholes

Write as a decimal - 3=3 plus the fractional part. Write the
fractional part as a decimal by
= 78 dividing the numerator by the 78 = 0.875
denominator.
3 + 0.875 = 3.875
To write the decimal as a percent,
Write as a percent - 3 .875=387.5 % move the decimal point
Two places to the right and write the
percent (%)sign.

Answer is -
Expressing Fractions to Decimals and Percent Forms = 3.875 = 387.5%

 How to Express decimals to fractions and
percent forms?

a. Express decimal to a
percent.
b. Express percent to a
fraction.

Expressing Decimals to Fractions and Percent Forms

 Illustrative Example:
Problem 1:
Express 0.4 as a percent and as a simplified fraction.
Write 0.4 as 0.40, which is 40 hundredths. 40 hundredths is
Write as a percent - 0.4 = 0.40 = 40 percent.

40% You can also move the decimal point Two places to the right
to find the percent equivalent.

4 To write 0.4 as a fraction, you read the decimal, 4 tenths,

Write as a fraction - 0 .4 = and write 4 tenths in fraction form.
10

Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and

= = denominator by 2, a greatest common factor (GCF).

Answer is - 0.4 = 40% =

 Illustrative Example:
Problem 2:
Express 3.14 as a percent and as a simplified fraction.
Move the decimal point Two places to the right to find the
Write as a percent - 3.14 = percent equivalent.

314%
314 Replace the percent sign by a denominator
Write as a fraction - 3 14 % = of 100.
100

= = =3 Reduce the fraction to lowest term.

Answer is - 3.14 = 314% = 3

 How to Express percent to fractions and
decimal forms?

a. Express percent to a
fraction.
b. Express fraction to a
decimal.

Expressing Percent to Fractions and Decimal Forms

 Illustrative Example:
Problem 1:
Express 25% as a simplified fraction and as a decimal.
Since % means ‘out of 100’, 25% means 25 out of 100.
Write as a fraction - 25% = You write this as a fraction, using 100 as the
denominator.

= Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and

denominator by the common factor 25.

Move the decimal point in the whole number two

Write as a decimal - = 0.25 places to the left to get 0.25.

Answer is - 25% = = 0.25

Expressing Percent to Fractions and Decimal Forms
 Illustrative Example:
Problem 2:
Express 195% as a simplified fraction and as a decimal.
Since % means ‘out of 100’, 25% means 25 out
Write as a fraction - 195% = of 100. Replace the percent sign by a
denominator of 100.

= = Reduce the fraction to lowest term. Change the

improper fraction to a mixed number.

Move the decimal point in the whole number two

Write as a decimal - = 1.95 places to the left to get 1.95.

Answer is - 195% = 1= 1.95
