a franction to a decimal or percentage is easy.
1 over 2 is 1 devided by 2 so it .5 as a decimal now multiply by 100 to get 50%
for a percentage to a fraction devide by 100 to get a decimal first then depending on your anwer devide by some number
if it's a multipel of 3 try devideing by 3 if of 5 do it by 5. something like that.
then if you get an answer like 6 over 8 try to minimise it to 3/4th's by devideing both the top and bottom number by a common number in this case 2. decimal is alway the middle step to make things easyer.
I hope I didn't confuse you there. My math is good english sucks

convert a percent to a fraction:
example: 7%
7/100 would be the fraction
now if you're teacher gives you an ungodly 7.357%, you're completely fucked...
from percent to decimal:
example: 7%
it appears as .07 think of it as money....7% is like 7 cents
now if you're teacher gives you an ungodly 7.357%, you're NOT completely fucked...
it's easy, .07357
from fraction to decimal: (i'm assuming you're not allowed to use a calculator in ur accounting class like students here in uc davis, so remember the easiest ones always, ie 33.3% 1/3)
example: anything over 100 is itself in a decimal...ie. 99/100
example 2: if you have something over 5 remember it's in increments of 20 percent, 1/3 is increments of 33.3 percent, over 4 is 25% increments, anything over ten i.e. 3/10 is 3*10%=30%
as for simple and complex loans....i'm not in accounting so, sorry....>_<" wish i could help.
