: How to make fractions into percentages. I completed the entire problem all the way until I got to the end when I had to turn 23/40 into percent. I also struggle - no, I lie, I have no idea how to turn a percent into a fraction or a decimal...if you can be of any assistance with that I would greatly appreciate it! :-) This question is from textbook ELEMENTARY AND INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA

Just divide the numerator by the denominator using regular old 5th or 6th grade long division. Carry it out to as many decimal places as you think appropriate. In the case of 23%2F40, it works out exactly at three decimal places. Alternatively you can just use your calculator. Once you have a decimal representation of the fraction, just move the decimal point two places to the right to turn it into a percentage.
