Step by Step Solution

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Step 1. Define the concept.

A percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100.

$\frac{a}{b} = \frac{p}{100}$ , where $\frac{a}{b}$ is the fraction and p is the percent equivalent of the fraction.

Step 2. Multiply the fraction by 100.

To find the percent of the fraction, multiply the fraction by 100.

$\frac{14}{17} = \frac{p}{100} \frac{14}{17} \times 100 = p$

Step 3. Simplify for p.

Further simplify the expression.

$\frac{14}{17} \times 100 = p p = 82.35 %$

Therefore, the fraction as a percent is $82.35 %$ .
