Answer:

11%

Explanation:

If you divide 1 รท 9 which is what 1/9 means, you get 0.1111111...

Convert the decimal to a percentage by moving the decimal two places to the right.

Or,

you could set up a proportion. "percent" means per 100.

1/9 = x/100

crossmultiply.

100 = 9x

divide by 9

100/9 = x

11.11111 = x

This gives you a percent directly (no moving the decimal is necessary)

Round to the nearest whole number
