1/100 as a percentage is 1.00%. This tiny fraction represents one part out of a hundred equal parts, and when you write it as a percent it shows just a single percent point.
In everyday life, 1.00% can describe a small discount, a tiny chance, or a modest increase in a value. Because it’s only one out of a hundred, it’s easy to picture: imagine a pizza cut into 100 slices and you take just one slice.
When you see 1.00% on a label, a report, or a calculation, you can be confident it means exactly one percent of the whole. It’s a simple way to express a very small portion in a format most people understand.
