alternatively, you can think of it as cancelling both "%" "units" on the numerator and denomator, then you are left with 500/50 = 10. convert 10 to a percent = 1000%. I also like the person who said dividing by half or 50% is the same as multiplying the numerator by 2. Nice math

@@wisegirl359 I think of "%" as "out of 100". e.g. 50% is 50 out of 100. This is the same as 1/2. 100% is 100 out of 100. This is the same as 1, or one whole. We can say 200% is 200 out of 100 = 2. Thus, 1000% is like saying "1000 out of 100" or "1000 per 100" = 1000/100 = 10. Hope this helps!

For those who don't understand why he added two zeroes to the 10 at the end, he isn't adding back zeroes he took away earlier, he's converting it from a "whole number" to a percentage. 1 is equal to 100% when dealing with percentages, so logically 10 would be 1000% because 10 × 100 =1000.

[@Dhruv45124]

10 is same as 10 x 100/100 so the numerator turns out to be 1000 and the denominator is 100. It can be written as 1000 x 1/100 And 1/100 is = 1 percent ("per" "Cent"(100) ). Thus total value = 1000 %

I don't think we had to convert it to decimal. You can cancel out the zeros leaving 50/5 . Which is still 10.

You need to have the number you are going to relate the result to in order to convert it into a percentage. We don't know what is that 10 out of.

@@twelvoe4205 So many cases... To check and control probabilities for instantiating say an object instead of one another, control some variables related to something such health or experience to get the right "fill amount" of an image like a health bar that goes from 0(empty) to 1(full) even if said variable does not range from 0 to 1, to convert a numerical value into a custom notation (like 5M instead of 5000000), to make equations allowing you to use only one variable instead of many, so that with this only variable the system can get to the others without having to assign one for each purpose every time, which is great not only for simplifying your job, but also can enable you to add a feature that lets the user create their own form of objects, like custom weapons, I could go on all day. Also so many use cases with delta time (the time that passed between the end of the previous frame and the start of the current) to prevent the device's performance to mess with stuff like walking speed or jumping force.

i figured it all out by my own till 10 but after it why people are saying 10 = 1000% , i mean 10/100x100=10% right or am i just dumb?

[@ahuman7882]

1 is 100%, so to turn a number into a percent, you multiply it by a hundred. Consider that 10% is the same thing as 1/10th, and 1/10th = 0.1. 1/1 is therefore the same thing as 100%, aka 1

[@MrDiipessh]

Another simple way is 500% x 1/50% but as everyone knows 50% means 1/2 so when 1 division by 1/2 = 2. So, 500% x 2 = 1000%. No need to convert to decimal.

[@ryandalm]

🔺So it’s actually much easier to think about it as multiplying, 🔺For example 100% x 50% which equals 50 (half of 100). Now if you divide by 50% you will get the opposite which would be 200 in this case. 🔺Applying the same principle to 500%/50% gives 1000 (👉500 x 2). That’s how I calculated it anyways… 🔺Hopefully it makes sense lol

[@CRnk153]

Wtf it is 6th grade why are you talking about that so officially

[@fazepepper1481]

Another method is to convert the percentages back to fractions and the flip the second fraction and multiply. 500%=500/100 50%=50/100 500/100 × 100/50 =10 =1000%

For those who didn't understand 10 is same as 10 x 100/100 so the numerator turns out to be 1000 and the denominator is 100. It can be written as 1000 x 1/100 And 1/100 is = 1 percent ("per" "Cent"(100) ). Thus total value = 1000 %

[@WilliamWizer]

no need to make it that hard. you can freely divide a percentage by another percentage. just remove the % symbol. then, if you want/need, you can express that result as a percentage.

[@gonzalotapia1250]

The % means "divided by 100". The numerator is bigger than 1 (500% = 5), but the denominator is less than 1 (5% = 0.05). So the division is bigger than 5. In fact, 5% is the same than 1/20, so the problem reduces to 5/(1/20) = 5*20 = 100. Another way: JUST SIMPLIFY THE %. 500%/50% = 500/50 = 100/10 = 10. As the answer is in percentage, just convert 10 in % back again.

[@saptakbanerjee9712]

I think this question is a bit ambiguous. Let me put it this way. Case1. If nothing else is asked except this (500%)/(50%) therefore it is just a ratio. Thus the percentage gets cancelled out and we have 500 over 50 which gives us 10 over 1, i.e. 10. Final answer would be 10. Now we don't have 10 in any options so we have to go with the last option given. Case 2. It is clearly asked in the question that - what will be the equivalent percentage number for this decimal number written in fraction form, then the correct answer would be 1000% (same steps and we get 10 and finally the last step 10 multiplied by 100 over 100). e.g. convert the decimal number 1 in percentage. Solution: 1 over 1 is multiplied by 100 divided by 100, we get the answer 100%. Thus percentage equivalent of decimal number 1 is 100. We must remember when we are considering about percentage, it is always about converting one ratio of two numbers into another special kind of ratio in which the denominator is fixed as one hundred. Therefore we always need two numbers, in any case when we have one number that means the denominator is 1. Like in this particular question we calculateed the percentage of 10 over 1. So that was my explanation. Let's see anyone has more theories in their minds. THANKS for going through the whole text which got little lengthy!!
