(iii) 32%

(iv) 0.25%

(v) 7.5%

(vi) $\frac{1}{8} \%$

Solution:

(i) $27 \%=\frac{27}{100}$

$=0.27$

(ii) $6.3 \%=\frac{6.3}{100}$

$=0.063$

(iii) $32 \%=\frac{32}{100}$

$=0.32$

(iv) $0.25 \%=\frac{0.25}{100}$

$=0.0025$

$(\mathrm{v}) 7.5 \%=\frac{7.5}{100}$

$=0.075$

$(\mathrm{vi}) \frac{1}{8} \%=\frac{1}{8} \times \frac{1}{100}$
