Question

How do you write 140% as a fraction, mixed number, or whole number in simplest form?

Answer 1

let's use some amount.... hmmm say "b", to get its percentage.

`\bf \begin{array}c \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{140\% of b}}{\left( \cfrac{140}{100} \right)b}\implies \cfrac{14}{10}b\implies \cfrac{7}{5}b\implies 1(2)/(5)b`
