What is 70/20 as a percent? | Thinkster Math (2024)
In a fraction, we can see how many “pieces” of a number are present (in the numerator) compared to how many pieces would make up the whole (the denominator). “Percent” means “per hundred”, which is like asking the question “how many pieces would there be if there were 100 pieces possible?”
For example, if we look at the percentage 50%, that means we have 50 pieces of the possible 100. Re-writing this in fraction form, we see 50/100.
We can start the process of converting a fraction into a percent, by figuring out how to adjust the fraction so that the denominator will be 100. First, divide 100 by the denominator:
The fraction shows how many portions of the number there are, in relation to how many would make up the whole. For instance, in the fraction 70/100, we could say that the value is 70 portions, out of a possible 100 portions to make up the whole.
For example, if we look at the percentage 50%, that means we have 50 pieces of the possible 100. Re-writing this in fraction form, we see 50/100. Re-writing the result as a percentage, we can see that 70/20 as a percentage is 350%.
The percentage can be found by dividing the value by the total value and then multiplying the result by 100. The formula used to calculate the percentage is: (value/total value)×100%.
Now we can divide the numerator by the denominator to convert the fraction to a decimal. Finally, we convert the decimal to a percentage by multiplying it by 100. This means that 72 is 60% of 120.
4 is 20% of the number 20. To find what percentage of 20 the number 4 is, complete the following equation: First, divide 4 by 20. Then, multiply by 100.
To calculate the amount after a 70 percent discount, multiply the original price of the item by 0.70, then subtract the result from the original price.
20 percent is 20 hundredths = 0.2. So multiply the number by 0.2. Or you can simply multiply the number by the percentage required and then divide it by 100.
