    Most of the posts to your question are correct. What ever you do, don't follow "intellectual". I think he was confused.

    He isn't wrong, but fractions are an improper way to display a percentage.

    5/7 = .7143

    When you multiply this by 100 it becomes a percentage = 71.43%

    Enjoy!

    (5/7) x 100% = 500 / 7 % = 71 3/7%

    71 % to nearest whole number.

    divide 5 by 7 and multiply that by 100. that's how to find a percentage.

    percent means "per 100 parts". Form the eqn:

    5/7 = x/100

    7x = 500

    x = 500/7

    = 71.43%

    I see a lot of parts here that may confuse you.

    You divide 5/7, then you multiply the answer by 100, then go ahead and simplify and the answer comes to 71.4% Not 71.43%.

    = 100%(5/7)

    = 500/7% or 71 3/7%

    Answer: 71 3/7% or 71.42 6/7%
