A percentage is a number expressed in terms of it's relation to 100. It is a number divided by 100. We need to get to our original number.
We multiply our percentage by 100, which is the same as moving the decimal point to the right 2 places. The first move to the right gives us 200. The second decimal place move gives us 20.
Now, since a percentage is expressed in relation to 100, our number is:
Percentage =
20
100
Using our GCF Calculator we see that they share a Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 20. Reducing the numerator and denominator of 20/100 by our GCF of 20, we get the following reduced fraction: Fraction = 1/5
Now we need to calculate the decimal version of the percentage: The decimal version of a percentage is just the percentage divided by 100.
Dividing by 100 is the same as shifting the decimal point 2 places to the left. Shift 20 one decimal place to the left, we get --> 2 Shift 2 another decimal place to the left, we get --> 0.2
Check to see if 0.2 is a terminating decimal:
A terminating decimal is one that ends Since the decimals 2 does not repeat, this is a terminating decimal
