The fraction 7/100 expressed as a percentage is 7.00%. This tiny part of a whole is easy to picture: imagine 100 equal pieces and you take just seven of them.
When we write 7/100 as a percent, the number tells us how many parts out of 100 we have. In this case, it’s exactly seven parts, which is why the percent looks the same as the fraction’s numerator.
Both the fraction and the percentage are useful in everyday situations, like calculating a small discount, measuring a tiny ingredient in a recipe, or comparing a short distance to a longer one. They give the same information in different forms, so you can choose whichever one feels more comfortable.
