#314%#

Firstly we need to find the value of this, and by doing this we start by changing this to an improper fraction (a top heavy fraction)

#3 7/50# means the whole fraction #3# times and the given fraction #7/50#

#50/50+50/50+50/50+7/50=157/50#

Or alternatively multiplying the #3# by the denominator (bottom number) and adding the numerator.

#50xx3=150/50+7/50=157/50#

Finding the value of this, we just divide:

#157/50=3.14#

As a percentage means and is 'out of #100#', we multiply this value by #100# changing it to a percentage.

#3.14xx100=314%#
