Answer»

a) Given percent is 15%

= \(\frac{15}{100}\) = \(\frac{3}{20}\) (fraction form)

[∵ To express a percentage as a fraction first drop the symbol % and then divide it by 100.]

b) Given percent is 35%

= \(\frac{35}{100}\) = \(\frac{7}{20}\) (fraction form)

c) Given percent is 50%

= \(\frac{50}{100}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (fraction form)

d) Given percent is 75%
