1. CONVERSION TABLE

Fraction Decimal Percent

1/2 0.5 50%
1/3 0.33 33.33%
1/4 0.25 25%
1/5 0.2 20%
1/6 0.166 16.66%
1/7 0.142 14.2%
1/8 0.125 12.5%
1/9 0.111 11.11%
1/10 0.1 10%

2. FRACTIONS AND DECIMALS

Bigger denominator → smaller fraction

A/B = B×1/A
𝐴 𝐶
Comparing Fractions: 𝑣𝑠 → 𝐴 × 𝐷 𝑣𝑠 𝐵 × 𝐶
𝐵 𝐷
Decimal to percentage: multiply by 100
Percentage to decimal: divide by 100

3. PERCENTAGES

Percent = per 100 = value/100

10% and 1% building blocks: shift the decimal point one or two places to the right,
respectively
20% of 30 is 2×3=6; 25% of 40 is 2.5×4=10
35% of 20 = 205 of 30
Reverse percentage for price reduction: Original price = new price /what’s left
Reverse % for price increase: Original price = new price /what was added
