For these questions, give your answers to 1 decimal place. A) Change 14 out of 37 to a percentage. B) Change 29 out of 60 to a percentage.

Answer 1

percentage means ‘per cent’ or ‘per hundred’ so to make a percentage, you make the denominator of a fraction 100

A. 14 ( 100/37 ) = 37.8%

B. 29 ( 100/60 ) = 48.3%
