Question

How do you write the percent 35% as a fraction?

Answer 1

`7/20`

Explanation:

A percentage is a hundredth; hence `35%` will be `35` hundredth or:

`35/100`

Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by `5`, we get:

`(7cancel35)/(20cancel100)`

Since there is no common factor between the numerator and denominator, we are left with the fraction:

`7/20`
