Answer 1

A: 61/100 or 0.61%

Explanation:

He practices 49/100 days, but the question is asking us what percentage of days, he does not practice. He practices 49% of the days, but does not practice 100-49/100 days=61/100 days.

Answer 2

Answer: B

Explanation:

The answer is B, because if he practices 49 times out of 100, then you know that it is a fraction of 49/100.

49/100 can also be changed into a decimal, making it 0.49.
