Question

Choose the correct use of the apostrophe. Is it all right to use _____ in my research paper, or should I spell them out? A. %’s B. %s C. %’ D. %s’

Answer 1

It is more common to use %'s than %s, even though that technically is correct. If the you spelled out the word "percents" then you would not add an apostrophe. You would not use %s' because not only is that incorrect, but that's also showing ownership of more than one %.

Answer 2

The correct use of the apostrophe is %s

Step-by-step explanation:

The apostrophe in the examples that we have in here represent possession, it could be in singular or plural, the first option talks about a possessive of the percentage with is not correct, the third option only has the apostrophy without the s and it is incorrectly written in any way, the fourth option is possessive for a plural, option two that is the one without any use of apostrophe is the correct one since it refers to the use of percentages as a symbol in plural.
