The Link Between Fractions, Decimals & Percentages

The Link Between Fractions, Decimals & Percentages

Any  number can be written as a fraction, decimal or percent. The term percent is simply another name for hundredths. For example, 25% (twenty-five per cent) is the same as 25/100. 

To multiply a decimal number by 10, simply move the decimal point one place to the right. To multiply by 100, move the decimal point two places to the right.
