## anonymous one year ago (Question screenshot in comments) I found out the percent but didn't see that it was a negative fraction, and I can't find anything that explain how to convert negative fractions to decimal/percents. Someone help ??

3. freckles

4. freckles

covert 9/20 to a percent then bring over the negative sign

5. anonymous

What do you mean by "bring over" ? as in just add a negative sign to the percent ??

6. freckles

yes the number is negative the decimal is therefore negative the percent is therefore negative

7. freckles

example: -a/100=-a%

sorry, thanks! it's been a while considering summer so I kind of have to refresh my math lingo, heh.

9. freckles

that is just 3 different ways to represent the same number if you don't put the negative sign on the other two values you are changing the value

another example: $-\frac{1}{4}=-.25=-25 \%$
