Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert a percent to a fraction, we put the percent over 100 and simplify if possible. Thus, 75% becomes $\frac{75}{100}$. Then we can simplify by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 25, which gives us $\frac{3}{4}$. Choice C is the only answer that matches this simplified fraction.
