$35\%$ as a fraction is ___.

• A. $\frac{9}{20}$
• B. $\frac{17}{50}$
• C. $\frac{7}{20}$
• D. $\frac{1}{4}$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$\frac{7}{20}$

$35\%$ is 35 parts out of 100.

$\therefore 35\%=\frac{35}{100}$

Reduce $\frac{35}{100}$ to its lowest form using the common factor 5.

$\frac{35÷5}{100÷5}=\frac{7}{20}$

$\therefore 35\%$ as a fraction is $\frac{7}{20}.$
