    Question

    A library finds that borrowing reference books between libraries are 18 over 10 of what it was 10 years ago. Write this fraction as a percent.

    1. 10%    
    2. 18%    
    3. 1800%    
    4. 180%    

    hintHint:

    To write a fraction as percent either convert it into decimal and then multiply by 100 and add symbol % or multiply the fraction by 100 and find the value directly.

    The correct answer is: 180%

      C o n v e r t space f r a c t i o n space i n t o space d e c i m a l 18 over 10 space space equals space 1.8 N o w space c o n v e r t space d e c i m a l space i n t o space p e r c e n t space b y space m u l t i p l y i n g space b y space 100 space a n d space a d d i n g space t h e space s y m b o l space percent sign. 1.8 space cross times 100 space equals space 180 percent sign T h u s comma space b o r r o w i n g space r e f e r e n c e space b o o k s space i n space t h e space l i b r a r i e s space a r e space 180 percent sign space o f space w h a t space i t space w a s space 10 space y e a r s space a g o.

      Alternatively,
      18 over 10 cross times 100 space equals space 180 percent sign
