200% Percent to decimal or whole number

Question

Express each percent as a decimal and as a mixed numbper or fraction in simplest form.

 

Answer 1

A percent is a number out of 100.

 

 

200% = 200 / 100

 

200% = 2

 

 

 

Here is why:

 

100% is equal to 1 whole.  Therefore,

 

200% = 100% + 100%

         

          = 1 whole + 1 whole

 

          = 2 wholes
