A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. It is often denoted using the percent sign, "%".

Similarly, decimals are converted into percentages and vice versa
Example: 0.1 = $\frac{1}{10} = \frac{1}{10} \times$ 100 = 10%
To convert a percentage into a fraction we divide by 100
Example, 5% is $\frac{5}{100} \ or \ \frac{1}{20}$
