Answer:

85%

Explanation:

So, since our denominator in 68/80 is 80, we could adjust the fraction to make the denominator 100. To do that, we divide 100 by the denominator.

100 รท 80 = 1.25

Once we have that, we can multiple both the numerator and denominator by this multiple:


(68* 1.25)/(80*1.25) = (85)/(100)

Now we can see that our fraction is 85/100, which means that 68/80 as a percentage is 85%.

We can also work this out in a simpler way by first coverting the fraction 68/80 to a decimal. To do that, we simply divide the numerator by the denominator:

68/80 = 0.85

Once we have the answer to that division, we can multiply the answer by 100 to make it a percentage:

0.85 * 100 = 85%
