Answer 1

The closest match is option C) 0.97%, which is approximately equal to 401%.

To convert the mixed number \(4\frac{7}{500}\) to a percent, follow these steps:

1. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

`\[ 4(7)/(500) = ((4 * 500) + 7)/(500) = (2000 + 7)/(500) = (2007)/(500) \]`

2. Simplify the fraction:

`\[ (2007)/(500) = (401)/(100) \]`

3. Convert the fraction to a decimal:

`\[ (401)/(100) = 4.01 \]`

4. Convert the decimal to a percent by multiplying by 100:

`\[ 4.01 * 100 = 401\% \]`

So,
`\(4(7)/(500) = 401\%\)`

Now, compare this result with the given options:

A) 0.94%
