Hello there!

Answer:

Your answer would be $0.77

Explanation:

The reason why $0.77 would be the correct answer is because that represents something that is lower than a dollar, more so you would know it as "cents."

When you look at the question, it says, "77/100 of a dollar." What that means is that there is 77 of a dollar, and a dollar is equivalent to one whole.

The denominator "100" represents a whole, so that means that there is 77 out of a whole.

When you know currencies, cents are lower than a whole, therefore would be represented as a decimal.

77/100 is equivalent to 0.77.

As a money amount, it would be $0.77.

$0.77 should be the CORRECT answer.
