See below.

Explanation:

To turn #3# #3/4# to a decimal, you must first convert it to an improper fraction, to do that you multiply the whole number (#3#) and the denominator (#4#).

#4# X #3# #=# #12#

Then you add the product of #3# and #4# (#12#) to the numerator (#3#)

#3# #+# #12# #=# #15#

You then make the sum of the numerator and the product of the whole number and denominator into the numerator.

This leaves us with #15/3#

Now, to make that into a percent is easy.

#15/3# X #x/100#

You need the multiply #15# and #100#

#15# X #100# #=# #1500#

Then you divide the product by #3#

#1500/3# = #500#

The percent is #500%#
