Answer 1

I don't know what model of calculator you are using, but you may try to multiply the resultant fraction by 100%.

Most likely the steps are (while you have the result on screen):

1) press "x" (multiply)

2) key in "100" (100)

3) press "%" (percent)

4) some calculator gives you new result now but some may need to press "="

Hope that help  :)

BTW could you please let me know does it work or not.
