In this lesson, you will learn how to solve percent problems using the fraction representation of a percent. A percentage literally means "per 100", so every percent can be expressed as a fraction. This fraction representation can be used to calculate percentages of numbers. Here we multiply by the fraction to obtain the percent of the number, and discuss what the percent means in real life examples.
