Question

How do you write `\frac { 84} { 50}` as a percent?

Answer 1

`168%`

Explanation:

One way of determining how to represent a fraction as a percentage is to make the denominator of the fraction `100`.

`84/50=168/100`

The next step is to multiply by `100`. Since the denominator of the fraction is already `100`, you can just write the numerator.

`168/100*100=168`

This number the percentage.

`84/50=168%`
