How to turn 17/20 into percent

Answer 1

17/20 

multiply top and bottom by 5 ( need to be over 100)


17 x  5 = 85
20 x  5 = 100

85/100 = 0.85

0.85 = 85%

85% is your answer

hope this helps

Answer 2

multiply both denominator and numerator by 5.
20*5=100
17*5=85
then, put the product of the numerator and 5 over the product of the product of the denominator and 5.
85/100.
So, 17/20 as a percent is 85%
