Question

Write the fraction corresponding to the given percent in lowest terms. Use a fractionto find the following amounts.
20. 25% of $124
22. 70% of 840
24. 66 2/3% of $96

Answer 1

(25/100) * 124 = 31

(70/100) * 840 = 588

66 2/3 = 200/3
then
(200/3 /100) * 96 = (2/3) * 96 = 64

Answer 2

20. 25% of $124 = $\frac{25}{100} \times 124 = \frac{31}{4}$
22. 70% of 840 = $\frac{70}{100} \times 840 = \frac{588}{2}$
24. 66 2/3% of $96 = \frac{66 \frac{2}{3}}{100} \times 96 = \frac{64}{3}$
