Objective: We will learn to understand the relationship between percents, fractions, and decimals.

 30% = = Steps: 1. Write the percent over a 100 to turn it into a fraction. 2. Re-write the fraction in lowest terms. Your Example: Write 42% as a fraction in lowest terms.

 For example: Write 65% as a decimal.  (If there is no decimal point in the percent, there is always an invisible decimal point at the end of the last digit. You must move that decimal 2 places to the left. )  65% = 65. = places to the left Your Example: Write 4.3% as a decimal.

 For example: Write the decimal 0.78 as a percent.  0.78 = 78. = 78% 2 places to the right  Your example: Write the decimal as a percent.
