per-cent = per 100 = divide by 100 (cent is the same root as in 'century' or 'cent')
3/5 % = (3/5) / 100 = (3/5)*(1/100) = 3/500

3% = 3/100ottvdiesel wrote:Can someone please explain why is 3/5 percent = 3/500? Thanks!
17% = 17/100
n% = n/100
So...3/5% = (3/5)/100= (3/5)(1/100)= 3/500
Cheers,
Brent
