$66\tfrac{2}{3}\%$ is the same as 2/3

3. anonymous

change it to improper fraction first...200/3 = 66.67% change to decimal... 0.6667 fraction form = 66/100 = 33/50 don't know if there is a mixed or improper here

4. anonymous

it is $\frac{3\times 66+2}{3}\%$ $\frac{200}{3}\%$ and percent means "over 100" so divide by 100 and you get $\frac{2}{3}$

5. anonymous

similarly $33\tfrac{1}{3}\%$ is the same as $\frac{1}{3}$which you might have known already

6. anonymous

So 66/2/3 = 2/3%?

7. anonymous

no no

8. anonymous

you started with a percent, and ended up with a fraction, not a percent

9. anonymous

1/3 %

10. anonymous

your answer is not a percent, it is a number

11. anonymous

like $50\%=\frac{1}{2}$

12. anonymous

or $75\%=\frac{3}{4}$ etc. your job was to turn the percent into a number

13. anonymous

so just 1/3

14. anonymous

in your case you had $66\tfrac{2}{3}\%=\frac{2}{3}$

15. anonymous

i just mentioned that $33\tfrac{1}{3}\%=\frac{1}{3}$

16. anonymous

your job is to take a percent and turn it in to a fraction , not turn a percent into some other percent.
