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 490. The second decimal place move gives us 49.
Now, since a percentage is expressed in relation to 100, our number is:
Percentage =
49
100
From our understanding of fractions, we see that 49 and 100 cannot be reduced down any more. Our fraction answer is just 49/100.
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 49 one decimal place to the left, we get --> 4.9 Shift 4.9 another decimal place to the left, we get --> 0.49
Check to see if 0.49 is a terminating decimal:
A terminating decimal is one that ends Since the decimals 9 does not repeat, this is a terminating decimal
