a. 275 Yes or no
b. 27 Yes or No
c. 22 Yes or No
d. 11 4 Yes or No
e. 2.75 Yes or No

Answer 1

In summary, the equivalents to 275% are 11/4 and 2.75. The numbers without percentages 275, 27, 22 are not correct representations of the percentage 275%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student question involves understanding percentages and their equivalent representations. To find equivalents to 275%, we look for different forms that express the same value. The correct equivalents to 275% are as follows:

• a. 275 No, this is just a number without a percentage sign and therefore does not represent a percentage.
• b. 27 No, this would be 27%, which is not equal to 275%.
• c. 22 No, this is just a plain number and also cannot represent 275%.
• d. 11/4 or 2.75 Yes, these are both correct because 11/4 equals 2.75 when converted to a decimal, and 2.75 is indeed an equivalent representation of 275% (2.75 times the original amount).
• e. 2.75 Yes, as a decimal, this number represents 275% as well.
