Converted to a decimal? The word "percent" means to divide the number by 100.
270/100 = 2.7
Converted to a fraction? Again, start by making a fraction with 100 on the bottom. Then, reduce by dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number if possible.
270/100 Divide top and bottom by 10
=27/10
This could be rewritten as a mixed number, as well. 10 goes into 27 2 times, with 7 left over, so
= 2 7/10 (that's two and seven tenths)
Best of luck!
