1/100 as a percentage is 1.00%. This tiny fraction means one part out of a hundred, which is exactly the same as saying one percent when we write it with two decimal places.
When you see 1.00% on a chart or a label, it tells you the same thing as the fraction 1/100. It’s a handy way to compare small pieces of a whole, especially when you’re dealing with money, test scores, or any kind of data that uses percentages.
In everyday language, saying “one percent” is just a quicker way to describe that fraction. Whether you write it as 1/100 or 1.00%, the meaning stays the same: a very small portion of something larger.
