Question

A school year has 4 quarters. What percent of a school year is 7 quaters

Answer 1

175%

Explanation:

A percent is nothing but writing a term as a fraction with denominator only 100.

For example, 1/2 = 50/100 = 50%

and 2 =2/1=200/100 = 200%

Like this we calculate percentage.

In our problem a school has 4 quarters.

This means 4 quarters is equivalent to 100 percent

Our question is to find percent for 7 quarters

Since it is direct variation we calculate by 7(100)/4

=700/4= 175%

Hence answer is 175
