How do you write 9/10 as a percent?
1 Answer
First of all, what is 1 percent?
Well, one percent is the same as 0.01 .
It simply means 1 part out of 100. That is 100 symmetrical or equal parts.
In other words, if you get a sheet of paper and divide it into 100 equal parts then take one of those parts, you have 1 percent.
"Percent" in a sense means per hundred because the word "cent" actually means a hundred in latin.
Now, if one percent is 0.01 , ten percent is going to be 0.10 . You need ten 0.01's to make 0.10. If you follow the logic below, you will understand why...
0.01 + 0.01 = 0.02
0.01 + 0.01 + 0.01 = 0.03
0.01 + 0.01 + 0.01 + 0.01 = 0.04
...
0.01 + 0.01 + 0.01 + 0.01 + 0.01 + 0.01 + 0.01 + 0.01 + 0.01 = 0.09
0.01 + 0.01 + 0.01 + 0.01 + 0.01 + 0.01 + 0.01 + 0.01 + 0.01 + 0.01 = 0.10
etc... etc...
0.01 x 10 = 0.10
Another way to write ten percent is
10 x 10% = 100%
Now, if
Well,
Which means that:
This is your answer.
