Answer 2

Answer:

$Percent = \frac{100a}{b}\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{a}{b}$

Required

Convert to fraction

To do this, we simply multiply the fraction by 100%

This gives:

$Percent = \frac{a}{b} * 100\%$

$Percent = \frac{a * 100}{b}\%$

$Percent = \frac{100a}{b}\%$

The expression cannot be further simplified.

Take for instance the fraction is: $\frac{2}{5}$

Using the same analysis, the percentage would be:

$Percent = \frac{2}{5} * 100\%$

$Percent = \frac{2 * 100}{5}\%$

$Percent = \frac{200}{5}\%$

$Percent = 40\%$
