What you need to know

Per cent means out of 100. A fraction, a decimal and a percentage are just three ways of writing the same amount: = 0.25 = 25%. Converting between them is a skill you will use constantly, from test scores to discounts to interest rates. Learn the benchmark values below and the rest can be worked out from them.

FractionDecimalPercentage
0.550%
0.2525%
0.7575%
0.220%
0.110%
0.12512.5%
0.333… (recurring)33%
0.666… (recurring)66%

The six conversions. Decimal to percentage: multiply by 100 (move the decimal point two places right). Percentage to decimal: divide by 100 (two places left). Fraction to decimal: divide the numerator by the denominator. Fraction to percentage: convert to a decimal first, then × 100 (or make the denominator 100 if that is easy). Percentage to fraction: write it over 100 and simplify. Decimal to fraction: use place value (0.35 is 35 hundredths = = ).

Convert to a decimal and a percentage

  1. Fraction to decimal: 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375.
  2. Decimal to percentage: 0.375 × 100 = 37.5%.
  3. Sense check: is a bit less than , and 37.5% is a bit less than 50%.

Convert 64% to a fraction in simplest form and to a decimal

  1. Percentage to fraction: 64% = .
  2. Simplify: the highest common factor of 64 and 100 is 4, so = [frac 16/25].
  3. Percentage to decimal: 64 ÷ 100 = 0.64.

Convert 0.06 and 1.5 to percentages

  1. 0.06 × 100 = 6%. Moving the point two places right turns 0.06 into 6.
  2. 1.5 × 100 = 150%. Percentages can be more than 100 when the amount is more than one whole.

Order , 0.65 and 58% from smallest to largest

  1. Convert everything to the same form. Decimals are usually easiest.
  2. = 3 ÷ 5 = 0.6. 58% = 0.58. 0.65 stays as it is.
  3. Order the decimals: 0.58, 0.6, 0.65.
  4. Answer in the original forms: 58%, [frac 3/5], 0.65.
Common mistake: 0.5 becoming 5% or 0.06 becoming 60%. Moving the decimal point two places means 0.5 = 0.50 = 50% and 0.06 = 6%. If a percentage looks ten times too big or too small, recount the places.
Common mistake: writing as 0.3 or 30%. 1 ÷ 3 = 0.333… recurring, which is 33.3% (to one decimal place) or exactly 33%. Rounding too early makes later answers wrong.

Check yourself

  1. Write 0.45 as a percentage.
  2. Write 8% as a decimal.
  3. Write as a percentage.
  4. Write 0.125 as a fraction in simplest form.
  5. Write 35% as a fraction in simplest form.
  6. Which is largest: , 0.6 or 65%?

Answers: 1. 45% 2. 0.08 3. 35% ( = ) 4. 5. 6. (it is 0.666…, which is more than 0.6 and 0.65)
