Step-by-step explanation:
To write 229% as a fraction, we need to divide the percentage by 100 and simplify if necessary.
Let's divide 229 by 100:
229 ÷ 100 = 2.29
So, 229% as a decimal is 2.29.
To write it as a fraction, we place the decimal 2.29 over 1 and multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100 to get rid of the decimal:
2.29/1 × 100/100 = 229/100
The fraction 229/100 is a proper fraction, meaning the numerator (229) is less than the denominator (100). However,
if the question asks for a remixed number, we need to express the fraction as a whole number and a fraction to form a mixed number.
229 divided by 100 is 2 with a remainder of 29. Therefore, 229/100 can be expressed as the mixed number 22/100 or simply 21/50.
