Answer 1

75% means 75/100

'of' means multiplication in maths

75% of her original hair means (75/100)H

Simplify (75/100) H

You could simplify in 2 ways:

1. Leave it in simplest fraction form: (3/4)H
2. Convert the fraction into decimals: 0.75H

ANS: Expressions c and d represent how long her hair was after the cut
