to convert a fraction into a percent, the easiest way is to set up a proportionality and cross multiply:
(This is always over one hundred because percentages are based on 100 percent)
700=15x
Divide both sides by 15
46.66=x
Which makes sense because 7 is almost half of 15 and 46.66 percent is almost half of one hundred percent.
To convert a percent into a fraction, use 100 as the denominator.
2.392% = 2.392/100
