Answer 1

Any number of the form $\frac{a}{100}$ can be written as a percent or a%.
The following parts can be solved in a similar manner.

(1) $\frac{25}{100}$= 25 percent
= 25%

(2) $\frac{79}{100}$= 79 percent
= 79%

(3) $\frac{1}{100}$= 1 percent
= 1%

(4) $\frac{12}{100}$= 12 percent
= 12%

(5) $\frac{50}{100}$= 50 percent
= 50%
