Guys...I'm having a serious brain freeze. This might sound like a simple math question (yes, I'm embarrassed), but what's 5/30 as a percent? I'm trying to figure out how much my part-time job contributes towards my college fund.
No worries at all! Sometimes math just likes to play tricks on us. To convert a fraction to a percentage, you divide the numerator (the top number) by the denominator (the bottom number) and then multiply the result by 100.
So, for 5/30:
First, divide 5 by 30, which equals about 0.1667.
Next, multiply that result by 100 to convert to a percentage.
0.1667 x 100 = 16.67%
So, your part-time job contributes approximately 16.67% towards your college fund.
