🔑 Key Concepts

Fractions, decimals, and percents can represent the same value in different forms.
A percent means “out of 100.”
To convert a fraction to a percent, create an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100 when possible.
You can also divide the numerator by the denominator to convert a fraction to a decimal.
Equivalent values must be exactly equal, not just close.
