simplify mixed number percent to decimal

Question

Change the percent to a fraction and simplify. Please help! Include steps so I can do the others on my own. Thank you!!!

Answer 1

17% = 17/100 (because of the definition of the percent symbol) and you see that it cvannot be reduced.

50% = .50 reduces to ½.

 

17.5% = 17.5 / 100 = 175 /1000 and you can reduce it by dividing both numerator and denominator by 25, yielding 7/40.

 

2 1/3 % = 7/3 % = 7/3 times 1/100 = 7/300 and this is irreducible.   

Etc. etc.
