if we have to convert percentage into fraction than it is divide by 100.

Example 1 :- if we write 45% then its equal to 45/100 or in fraction 9/20 or in decimal 0.45

if we have to convert fraction into percentage we have to multiple with 100.
Example 2 :- if we write 3/5 in fraction it is equal to 60%
                                    3/5x100=60.

READ AND LEARN FOLLOWING TABLE as also known as conversion table of percentage. Learn this table it help you a lot to solve many problem.

the following fraction in red colour are MOST IMPORTANT.

Fraction	Percentage
1/1	100%
1/2	50%
1/3	33.33%
1/4	25%
1/5	20%
1/6	16.66%
1/7	14.28%
1/8	12.5%
1/9	11.11%
1/10	10%
1/15	6.66%
1/20	5%
1/25	4%
1/30	3.33%
1/40	2.5%
1/50	2%
1/60	1.66%
1/75	1.33%
1/80	1.25%
1/90	1.11%
1/100	1%

by this conversion table we can change fraction into percentage and percentage into fraction

EX:- if we have to find 2/5 in %?

In the table we know that 1/5=20%
then, if we multiply both by 2
then we have 1/5x2 = 2x20%
answer is 2/5 = 40%
so, you only to know basic fraction and percentage that given above.

in the inverse 
Ex. If we have to find out 1/15 fraction in percentage%?

In the table we have 1/5 = 20%

then both side multiple by 1/3

we get 1/15 = 6.66%

SOME BASIC QUESTION THAT IS ALWAYS ASKED IN THE EXAMS

ans. By trick ----  50x50/100= 25% decrease/loss

TYPE 2.
if A is P% more than B. then B is less than by A 
 with P/(100+P)x100

ex. If radha earning is 25% more than sita. Then sita earning is how many percentage less then by radha?ans. By trick ---- 25/(100+25)x100=20%

formula P/(100+P)x100

ex. If petrol price increase by 25%. How much percentage a person reduced his consumption so that his expenditure on it does not increase?
ans. 25/(100+25)x100=20%

TYPE 5. 
if there is p% decrease in price . how much % increase his consumption so that his expenditure on it does not change.
formula P/(100-P)x100

ex. If there is 30% decrease in eggs price. How much a person increased his consumption so that his expenditure on it does not increase?
ans. 30/(100-30)x100=42.85

TYPE 6.
