Percentage
A percentage represents a number as a fraction of 100, widely used for comparing proportions in areas like discounts, marks, and statistics.
Core concept
'Percent' means 'per hundred,' so 25% means 25 out of every 100, or the fraction 25/100.
How it works
To convert a fraction to a percentage, we multiply by 100, like 1/4 becoming 25% (1/4×100=25).
Why it matters
To find a percentage of a number, we multiply the number by the percentage as a decimal, like 20% of 50 being 0.20×50=10.
