To convert a percentage to a fraction we must eliminate the “%” symbol by moving it two spaces to the left of the given number. Example - “22”. So, if you have 22%, the “%” is replaced with a decimal point that is then moved two spaces to the left of the 22 to give you: .22. The decimal point represents the number “100”. We then put the percentage number (12) as the numerator in a fraction and the “100” becomes the denominator. This converts 22% to look like 22/100." Remember that the “%” symbol always represents the number “100”.
