$56\%$

• A. $\frac{50}{100}$
• B. $\frac{14}{25}$
• C. $56\times 100$
• D. $\frac{23}{50}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{14}{25}$

One percent is equal to one hundredth part:

1% = 1/100

So in order to convert percent to fraction, divide the percent by 100% and reduce the fraction.

For example 56% is equal to 56/100 with gcd=4 is equal to 14/25:

56% = 56/100 = 14/25
