Definition of Percentage
A Percentage is a number that gives you a fraction of \(100\).
We use the symbol \(\%\) for percentages.
A percentage gives you the numerator of a fraction with a denominator of \(100\).
For example,
- \(10\% = \dfrac{10}{100}\)
- \(25\% = \dfrac{25}{100}= \dfrac{1}{4}\)
- \(50\% = \dfrac{50}{100} = \dfrac{1}{2}\)
- \(75 \% = \dfrac{75}{100} = \dfrac{3}{4}\)
- \(100 \% = \dfrac{100}{100} = 1\)
