Answer:

27.551%

Explanation:

based on the given conditions ,formulate:

(1000x1.25-980)divide by 980

calculate the product or quotient :

1250 - 980 over 980 calculate the sum which would be 270 over 980

we gon cross out the common factor 27 over 98

rewrite the fraction as a decimal = 0.27551

multiply a number to both the numeration and denominator : 0.27551 x 100 over 100

now write as a single fraction 0.27551 x 100 / 100

calculate the product = 27.551 over 100

rewrite the fraction with denominator equals 100 to a presantage = 27.551
