Given the numerical statement:

1 over 200

Determine its percentage value.

Solution:

In order to determine the percentage value, we must first rewrite 1 over 200, and solve.

= 1 / 200

=0.005

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.

= (0.005)(100)

= 0.5%

Final answer:

1 / 200 = 0.5%
