Question

How do you express 75% as a reduced fraction?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100".

Therefore 75% can be written as `75/100`.

We can reduce this as:

`75/10 = (25 * 3)/(25 * 4) = (color(red)(cancel(color(black)(25))) * 3)/(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(25))) * 4) = 3/4`
