Answer:

Answer: F. 1,275% and 12.75.

Explanation:

Ratios

Ratios are usually expressed as decimals, fractions, colon notation, and percentages.

For example, if the ratio of two quantities is 2, it can be expressed as:

2, 2/1, 2:1, 200%

To obtain the percentage expression, just multiply by 100%.

The price of the popcorn sold at a movie theatre was marked up as 12 3/4 times the original cost.

The mixed fraction can be converted to a decimal by just adding their parts as follows:

12 + 3/4 = 12.75

Now to express it as a percentage, multiply by 100%:

12.75 * 100% = 1,275%

Answer: F. 1,275% and 12.75.
