Question

Find the fraction that is equivalent to 21%

Answer 1

Since percent is essentially the number over 100, we can find this fraction quickly in the same fashion:

$\frac{21}{100}$

This is in simplest form, so there is no more reducing that can take place.

Answer 2

21% is the same as 0.21 (move the decimal point to the left two place values to make it a decimal).

Next, to make it a fraction, move the decimal to the right two place values, and place the number over 100

0.21 = 21/100

21/100 is your answer
