  2. Percents A percent is a part to whole ratio that compares a number to 100. Percent comes from the Latin word centum, which means “hundred”. To write a percent as a fraction, express the ratio as a fraction with a denominator of 100. 80% means 80 out of 100 or 80/100.

  3. Percents as Fractions Example: Express 45% as a fraction. Express 5% as a fraction.

  8. Express as a percent. Example: Set up an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100. Convert numerator x 25 1 25 25 % = = 4 100 x 25 What would you have to multiply the denominator “4” by to get to 100?
