Shirley Everett · Answer 1

9% = 9/100

Answer: 9/100

Whatever the percent is, simply place it over 100 and then reduce if possible. In this case, 9/100 is fully reduced as is. There are no common factors between 9 and 100 (other than 1), which is why 9/100 cannot be reduced.

Eric Moody · Answer 2

9/100 i believe but it could also be 9/10
