How do you write 47% as a fraction?

Answer 1

Kennedy Adams

#47% = 47/100#

The symbol #%# actually means 'out of 100', so every time it is used you are automatically working with a fraction.

#47% = 47/100#

In this case it does not simplify because 47 is a prime number and not a factor of 100.

A percent such as #45%# would be given as :

#47% = 45/100 = 9/20#

Fractions are always simplified if possible.
