How do you write 7/10 as a percent?

Answer 1

70%

The term 'percent' is rooted in Latin as two words 'per centum' which roughly translates to 'by one hundred' or 'every hundred'. One percent (1%) is the same as writing #1/100#.

Taking that a step further, we'll change the fraction such that the denominator is greater than 100, giving us our percentage!

#7/10*10/10=70/100=70%#
