Staff Review
This lesson is great as an introduction to what percents are, what they mean, and how they are represented in pictures. Some example problems of converting fractions to percents, decimals to percents, and percents back to fractions and decimals are shown. The idea of hundredths being the same as a percent because they are out of one hundred is explained. This is a must-see for a beginner learning about percents. -
