Question

Convert $15\%$ into a fraction and a decimal

Answer 1

Step $\mathbf{1}\mathbf{.}$Converting percent into a fraction

To convert percent into a fraction or a decimal,drop percent sign$\left(\%\right)$ and divide the number by $100$

Thus $15\%=\frac{15}{100}$

$=\frac{3}{20}$

Hence $\frac{3}{20}$ is the required fraction

Step $\mathbf{2}\mathbf{.}$Converting into decimal

From the above step, we get $15\%=\frac{3}{20}$

$=0.15$

Hence $0.15$ is the required decimal.
