We encourage you to check out our introduction to percentage page for a little recap of what percentage is. You can also learn about fractions in our fractions section of the website. Sometimes, you may want to express a fraction in the form of a percentage, or vice-versa. This page will cover the former case. Luckily for us, this problem only requires a bit of multiplication and division. We recommend that you use a calculator, but solving these problems by hand or in your head is possibly too! Here's how we discovered that 19 / 20 = 95% :

• Step 1: Divide 19 by 20 to get the number as a decimal. 19 / 20 = 0.95
• Step 2: Multiply 0.95 by 100. 0.95 times 100 = 95. That's all there is to it!

When are fractions useful?

Fractions are commonly used in everyday life. If you are splitting a bill or trying to score a test, you will often describe the problem using fractions. Sometimes, you may want to express the fraction as a percentage.

Convert 19 / 20 into a percentage or decimal

Find the Denominator

A percentage is a number out of 100, so we need to make our denominator 100!

If the original denominator is 20, we need to solve for how we can make the denominator 100.

To convert this fraction, we would divide 100 by 20, which gives us 5.

Find the Numerator

Now, we multiply 5 by 19, our original numerator, which is equal to 95

Convert your Fraction to a Percent

Remember, a percentage is any number out of 100. If we can balance 19 / 20 with a new denominator of 100, we can find the percentage of that fraction!

A fraction consists of two numbers and the fraction bar:

19/20

The number above the fraction bar is the numerator: 19

The number under the fraction bar is the denominator: 20

To get the fraction's value, divide the numerator by the denominator:

The value = 19 ÷ 20

'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':

p% = p 'out of one hundred',

p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100.

1) Calculate the value of the fraction.

2) Multiply this number by 100.

3) Add the percent sign %

19/20 =

19 ÷ 20 =

0.95

100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 100% = 1

Multiply a number by the fraction 100/100
... and its value doesn't change.

n × 100/100 = n × 1 = n, any number n

0.95 =

0.95 × 100/100 =

(0.95 × 100)/100 =

95/100 =

95%

The symbols used: % percent, ÷ division, × multiplication, = the equal sign, / the fraction bar, ≈ approximately the same. Writing numbers: comma ',' - as a thousands separator, point '.' as a decimal mark.

20: 19*100 =

(20*100): 19 =

2000: 19 = 105.26

Now we have: 20 is what percent of 19 = 105.26

Question: 20 is what percent of 19?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 19 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with {x}.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that {100\%}={ 19}.

Step 4: In the same vein, {x\%}={20}.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

{100\%}={ 19}(1).

{x\%}={20}(2).

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS
(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{ 19}{20}

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{20}{ 19}

\Rightarrow{x} = {105.26\%}

Therefore, {20} is {105.26\%} of { 19}.
