Learn to write decimals and fractions as
percents.
6-1 Fractions, Decimals, and Percents
The students at Westview Middle School
are collecting cans of food for the local
food bank. Their goal is to collect 2,000
cans in one month. After 10 days, they
have 800 cans of food. What percent of
their goal have they reached?

3
Order 17%, 0.25,
, 0.1, 5 , and 20% from
4
least to greatest.
Step 1: Write the numbers as decimals with the
same number of decimal places.
17% = 0.17
0.25 = 0.25
3 = 0.75
4
0.1 = 0.10
4 = 0.80
5
20% = 0.20

Step 3: Compare the decimals.
0.10 < 0.17 < 0.20 < 0.25 < 0.75 < 0.80
From least to greatest, the numbers are: 0.1, 17%,
20%, 0.25, 3 , 4 .

Additional Example 4: Choosing a Method of
Computation
Decide whether using pencil and paper, mental math, or a
calculator is most useful when solving the following
problem. Then solve.
If 27 out of 50 people have the newspaper delivered to their
home, what percent of these people have the newspaper
delivered to their home?
27
Think: 27 ÷ 50 divides evenly.
50
Using pencil and paper is the best method.
= 0.54
27 out of 50 =
Write the decimal as a percent.
= 54%
54% of the people have the newspaper delivered to their
home.
