To write a fraction as a percent, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100. If we want to write \(\frac{3}{25}\) as a percent, we need to find a fraction equivalent to \(\frac{3}{25}\) that has a 100 in the denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.
\(\frac{3}{25}\) = \(\frac{n}{100}\)
Now, we can use cross products to find the missing value.
25n = 300
÷3 ÷3
N = 12
Therefore, \(\frac{3}{25}\) is equal to \(\frac{12}{100}\) or 12%.
