Changing Common Fractions and Whole Numbers to Percent:

While changing common fractions to percent, convert the fraction to a decimal, after that multiply by 100 and add the percent symbol.

Example:

Change   3/5 to a percent

 0.6 x 100 = 60%

While changing a whole number to a percent, multiply by 100 & add the percent symbol with it.

Example:

Change 10 to percent

10 x 100 = 1000%

Percents are commonly 100% or less.  Percents are most frequent used to define a fraction, but could be used to show values greater than 1(100%).  Examples are 110%, 200%, etc.
