Fractions to percentages

1. Change `7/10` to a percentage.

 How to turn a fraction into a percentage

 

 

Multiply both sides by `x` (what you do to one side you do to the other) to get `x` on its own.

 `(100timescancelx)/cancelx=(10timesx)/7`

`100=(10x)/7`

 

Multiply both sides by `7` to get `x` on its own.

`100times7=(10xtimescancel7)/cancel7`

 `700=10x`

 

Divide both sides by 10 to get x on its own.

 `700/10=(cancel10x)/cancel10`

`x=700/10`

`x=70` 

 

Answer: `x=70%`
