You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Percent is defined as \"hundredths\" ...
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "So in fraction form 15% is converted to \"15%2F100\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "But this fraction can be reduced to a simpler form because both the numerator and denominator
\n" ); document.write( "can be divided by the common factor of 5. When you divide the numerator 15 by 5 it becomes 3
\n" ); document.write( "and when you divide the denominator 100 by 5 it becomes 20. So the reduced fraction is
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2F20\" and you can't reduce that fraction any further because 3 and 20 cannot be divided
\n" ); document.write( "by any number that is common to both of them (other than 1 ... which does not change the problem).
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "So the answer is 15% = \"3%2F20\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps ...
