Given the mixed number:

1 2/25

Determine its value in percentage.

Solution:

In order to determine the value of the number in percentage, change it first into improper fraction, this can be done by multiplying the denominator with the whole number, and adding the product to the numerator. 

1 2/25 = 27/25

Get the value of the improper fraction into decimal.

27/25 = 1.08

Since we are given a decimal answer, in order to convert it into percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100. Hence, in converting a percentage into decimal, we divide the percentage by 100.

=(1.08)(100)

= 108%

Final answer: The value of 1 2/25 in percentage is 108%
