• A. 0.1225
• B. 0.125
• C. 0.135
• D. 0.1355

Answer 1

The correct option is A 0.1225

To find the percent of a given number, we will multiply it with $100$
Let the number in decimal be $x$
The number in percent is $12\frac{1}{4}=\frac{49}{4}$
When converted to percent , the number becomes $x\times 100=\frac{49}{4}$ $\Rightarrow x=\frac{49}{400}=0.1225$
