Example 3

Consider a book fair that has \(100\) books on display, \(55\) of which are novels.

How might we represent the number of novels compared to the total number of books?

Solution

Fractions/Decimals
\(\dfrac{\class{timed in2}{55}}{100} \class{timed in3}{= 0.55}\)
Ratios
\(55:100\)
Percent
\(55\%\)

Example 4

Express each of the following as a percent.

\(\dfrac{7}{10}\)
\(0.41\)
\(\dfrac{3}{5}\)

Solution

\(\dfrac{7}{10} \class{timed in2}{= \dfrac{70}{100}} \class{timed in3}{=70\%}\)
\(0.41 \class{timed in5}{= \dfrac{41}{100}} \class{timed in6}{=41\%}\)
\(\dfrac{3}{5} \class{timed in8}{= \dfrac{60}{100}} \class{timed in9}{=60\%}\)
