Question

Write the fraction as a percent. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary.21/20A) 200%B) 10.5%C) 105%D) 52.5%

Answer 1

Given the fraction:

`(21)/(20)`

You can identify that the numerator is 21 and the denominator is 20.

In order to write the fraction as a percent, you need to:

1. Divide the numerator by the denominator:

`21/20=1.05`

2. Multiply the Quotient obtained by 100 (this is the same as moving the decimal point two places to the right):

`1.05\cdot100=105\text{\%}`

Hence, the answer is: Option C.
