Percents as Fractions and Decimals

To change a percent into a decimal, all you have to do is divide the percent by one hundred.
Eg) 56% / 100 = 0.56
To change a percent into a fraction, you have to know that the word 'percent' means out of one hundred. So when you change the percent, you write the percent over one hundred. After you have done that, you reduce the fraction.
Eg) 56% = 56/100 = 27/50
