Example Question #11 : Percents

What is ten percent of six?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{3}{5}$

$\frac{2}{5}$

$\frac{3}{50}$

$\frac{5}{3}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{3}{5}$

Explanation:

In order to determine the value, set up an expression.

Ten percent is ten parts out of 100, or $\frac{10}{100}$ .

Ten percent of six would be:

$\frac{10}{100} \cdot 6$

Simplify this to find the unknown value.

$\frac{10}{100} \cdot 6=\frac{1}{10} \cdot 6 = \frac{3}{5}$

The answer is: $\frac{3}{5}$

Example Question #12 : Percents

Convert $2.976\%$ to decimal.

Possible Answers:

0.2976

297.6

2.976

0.02976

Correct answer:

0.02976

Explanation:

To convert a percent to a decimal, simply remove the percent sign and divide the entire number by 100.

$2.976\% = \frac{2.976}{100}$

This is also the same as moving the decimal place back two spaces.

$\frac{2.976}{100} = 0.02976$

The answer is: 0.02976

Convert the following decimal to percent: 0.00325

Possible Answers:

$0.0000325\%$

$325\%$

$3.25\%$

$32.5\%$

$0.325\%$

Correct answer:

$0.325\%$

Explanation:

A percentage is a number out of 100, which means that if we have a number that was 54 percent, then we have:

$54\% = \frac{54}{100} = 0.54$

From this example, since we are given a decimal 0.00325 , we can work backwards to find the percentage by moving the decimal place two spots to the right and add a percentage sign.

The answer is: $0.325\%$

Rewrite 0.3672 as a percent.

Possible Answers:

$3.672\%$

$36.72\%$

$0.003672\%$

$40\%$

$367.2\%$

Correct answer:

$36.72\%$

Explanation:

In order to write a decimal place as a percent, put the decimal over a denominator of one.

$\frac{0.3672}{1}$

A percentage is some number out of 100 parts.

Move the decimal place on the numerator two places to the right, and then add two zeros on the denominator.

$\frac{0.3672}{1}=\frac{36.72}{100}$

The answer is $36.72\%$ .
