Converting integer or decimal numbers, fractions, proportions and ratios to percentages

It's very simple to write a fraction (a proportion or a ratio) or a decimal number as a percentage.

To convert a fraction:

  • - start by dividing the numerator by the denominator
  • - then multiply the result by 100%
  • By multiplying the result by 100% the value we've got at the previous step is not modified, since 100% = 100/100 = 1
  • By multiplying by 100% only the form is being changed - it's written as a percentage.
