Percent (%) is a way to express a fraction with a denominator of 100. 125% can be expressed as a fraction in lowest terms. Which of the following represents 125% as a fraction?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Percent (%) represents a value out of 100. To convert 125% to a fraction, it is 125/100. Simplifying 125/100 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 25 gives us 5/4. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (1/8), Choice C (5/2), and Choice D (25/2) do not represent 125% as a fraction in lowest terms.
