Percentages are very useful in day to day activities and can be a handy way of writing fractions, making comparisons and describing change. For example, in a class test where a student scores 7 points out of a possible 10, and as a fraction, this is expressed as 7/10. The same can also be expressed as a percentage where the fraction 7/10 is multiplied by 100 percent. In this case 7/10*100%= 70%. Therefore, the student scored 70 percent of the total mark in the test. On the other hand, percentages can also be used to describe change. For ...
