Question

How do you write $75\%$ as a fraction?

• A. $\frac{1}{4}$
• B. $\frac{1}{2}$
• C. $\frac{1}{3}$
• D. $\frac{3}{4}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{3}{4}$

A percent is $1$ part out of $100.$
$\Rightarrow 1\%=\frac{1}{100}$
Therefore, $75\%=75\times \frac{1}{100}=\frac{75}{100}$
By simplifying this fraction, we get

$=\frac{5\times 5\times 3}{5\times 5\times 4}=\frac{3}{4}$
