Percentages often appear in finance, shopping discounts, and data presentations. Converting them to decimals or fractions broadens the range of calculation methods available. To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide by 100 (e.g., 75% → 0.75). For a fraction, interpret 75% as 75/100, which simplifies to 3/4. A quick formula is Percentage ÷ 100 = Decimal, or Percentage/100 as a fraction, often simplifying if possible. This dual representation is key in more advanced math tasks, letting you multiply or add with ease, merging the best of both fractional and decimal computations.
