76% 77% 78% 79%
It would really help if someone can help me out with this and explain how to figure it out!

Answer 1

To find a percentage, you need to divide 7 by 9 to find out what 7/9 is.
It turns out to be 0.777 repeating.
To find a percentage, you need to move the decimal place over by two to the right, so 7/9 is equals to 77.77%.
If you round that, then 77.77% is closest to 78%.


Hope this helps!
