Percent means "per hundred" (/100).
83 1/3% = (83 1/3)/100 (meaning of 83 1/3%)
= ((3*83 + 1)/3)/100 (convert to improper fraction)
= (250/3)/100 (evaluate the expression)
= 250/300 (evaluate the expression)
= (5*50)/(6*50) = (5/6)*(50/50) (reduce to lowest terms)
83 1/3% = 5/6
83 1/3% = (83 1/3)/100 (meaning of 83 1/3%)
