The answer

That is 81.81%, where the group 81 repeats for ever, or 81.8% to 1 decimal place.
How to turn 9/11 into a percentage
Per cent means out of 100, so a percentage is a fraction with a bottom of 100.
11 does not go exactly into 100, so there is no whole-number way to make the bottom 100. Go through the decimal instead:
- Divide the top by the bottom: 9 ÷ 11 = 0.81, where the group 81 repeats for ever.
- Multiply by 100, which moves every digit two places to the left: 81.81%, where the group 81 repeats for ever.
To write it exactly, divide 900 by 11 and keep the remainder: 900 ÷ 11 = 81 remainder 9. The remainder is 9/11 of a per cent, so 9/11 = 81 9/11%.
Rounded to 1 decimal place, 9/11 is 81.8%. To the nearest whole per cent, it is 82%.
