The three forms
Percent means "per hundred". To turn a percent into a decimal, divide by 100 (move the point two places left): 25% = 0.25. For a fraction, divide the top by the bottom: 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%. Going the other way, multiply a decimal by 100 to get the percent. The simplified fraction is the decimal written over 1 and reduced by the greatest common divisor.
