If a percent contains a decimal, it is usually easier to convert to decimal form first, then to fraction form. Example 8: 4.9% = 0.049 = 49/1000. If a percent contains a fraction, it is sometimes possible to change completely to fraction form by converting to decimal form first. Example 9: 51/4% = 5.25% = 0.0525 = 525/10,000 = 21/400 ................
