what is 33% in a fraction in simplest form

Question

i dont understand it

Answer 1

Hi, Jamaica,

     Here are some examples that should help you with finding the fraction of a percent in simplest form:

  Note:  percent means part of 100.  25%= 25/100 , so 25% of $1 is 25 cents.  However, 25% of 200 is 25 for every 100.    

          100    +  100 =200

            25   +25=  50        or    25/100 *200=  1/4   * 200/1  =200/4    =50      17%   =  17/100

 

Take   25/100  =   Divide numerator and denominator by the common denominator of 25= 25÷25    =1

                                                                                                                                    100÷25    4

 

Now, if you have a fraction that doesn't have a common denominator, then you will have to leave it alone as a fraction, for example,  9%  = 9/100      Nine is divisible by 9 or 3, but 100 is not divisible by these two integers.              Thank you,  Susan C.
