Question

How do you write 7/10 as a percent?

Answer 1

70%

Explanation:

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`.

Carrying that further, we'll convert the fraction so the denominator is over 100 and we will have our percentage!

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