A percentage is the top part of a fraction whose bottom part is 100.
So 50% means 'half of' and 25% means 'a quarter of'. 100% means the complete quantity.
Example:
50/100=1/2
25/100=1/4
100/100=1 the whole lot.
RULE:- You simply turn it into a fraction by writing it over 100.
Then cancel down if possible.

Simply multiply any fraction by 100.
for example 2/5 ths is (2/5)x100=40%.
Percentages aren't hard if you think about it

turn them into decimals. If your doing 70% it is .70 you put a decimal at the end of the % and move it 2 places to the left. SO 106% would be 1.06 get it? Simple huh

If you can put them over 100, do so. Then take the numerator and put the % sign by it.
