Problem 25: $\boldsymbol{\frac{77}{100}}$

Step1: Recall fraction to percent rule

A fraction with denominator 100 is the numerator as a percent. So $\frac{77}{100} = 77\%$.

Step1: Convert fraction to decimal

Divide numerator by denominator: $\frac{1}{10} = 1\div10 = 0.1$.

Step2: Convert decimal to percent

Multiply decimal by 100: $0.1\times100 = 10\%$.

Step1: Convert fraction to decimal

Divide 73 by 1000: $\frac{73}{1000}=73\div1000 = 0.073$.

Step2: Convert decimal to percent

Multiply by 100: $0.073\times100 = 7.3\%$.

Answer:

$77\%$
