On the math test last week,Jacob got 85% of the questions correct. How can this be percent be written as a fraction ?

Sagot :

The number in percent can be expressed as the fraction of 100. So 85% can be expressed as,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{85}{100}=\frac{17\cdot5}{20\cdot5} \\ =\frac{17}{20} \end{gathered}[/tex]

85% is expressed as 17/20 in fraction.
