You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let's take a few examples.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%\" or \"per cent\" means \"out of 100\" or \"per 100\" or \"for each 100\"
\n" ); document.write( "so 50% means 50 out of 100 so as a fraction would be 50/100 or reduced it becomes 1/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "95% means 95/100 or 19/20
\n" ); document.write( "20% means 20/100 or 1/5
\n" ); document.write( "2% means 2/100 or 1/50
\n" ); document.write( ".2% means .2/100 or 2/1000 or 1/500
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
