Eg: 1. 20%= 20/100 = 2/10 = 1/5
2. 125%= 125/100 = 25/20 = 5/4

C.w A.75%
Converting Fraction to Percentage :
2. 90% of 360
3. 120% of 360
Solutions
1. 60% of 360 = (50%+10%)360 = 180+36 =216
Main Goal: The unit value has to be find out in this method.
For this example we have to find out the Unit value , 1 unit of
apple = 7500/50 = 15Rs
Now the cost of 27 apples = 150*27 = 405Rs
Important Formulaes:
20% = 1/5 , 40%=2/5, 60% = 3/5 , 80%=4/5.
25%=2/8=1/4, 75%=3/4, 125%=5/4
16 2/3%=1/6 , 66 2/3%=4/6=2/3
37 ½%=3/8, 62 ½%=5/8 , 83 1/3% = 5/6
10% = 1/10, 20% = 2/10 , 30% = 3/10, 40% = 4/10
14 2/7% = 1/7 , 28(2/7)% =2/7
12 ½% = 1/8 , 24(1/2)% = 2/8
11 1/9% = 1/9 9 1/11% = 1/11
8 1/3% = 1/12 , 16(1/3) = 2/12

Solutions
5. Say initial salary was = 100
salary increased by 5% = 105% * 100 = 105
now the salary is reduced by 5%
95% * 105 = 99.75
required change = 100-99.75 = 0.25
(0.25/100)*100 = 0.25%
percentage change :
1. a+b+ab/100(if a,b increases)

3. a-b+ab/100(if a,b Decreases)
