Question #eb13d

Answer 1

`22/25`

Explanation:

First of all, percentages are numbers out of `100`. In which `88%` is `88` out of `100` or `88/100`.

This, in turn, gives you a large fraction although a fraction nonetheless. But we need to simplify it to find its simplest form. We do this by finding the greatest common factor of both the numerator and the denominator (GCF) and dividing both sides by the same number.

In this case, the GCF would be `4`. Next, divide `88` by `4`

`88/4=22`

and then do the same with `100`

`100/4=25`

So your answer would be `22/25`.
