Correct Answer:
A. 80%
To find the percentage that 560 is of 700, you need to express 560 as a fraction of 700 and then multiply by 100 to convert it into a percentage.
- The formula for percentage is (Part / Whole) * 100%.
- In this case, the 'Part' is 560 and the 'Whole' is 700.
- So, the calculation is (560 / 700) * 100%.
- Simplifying the fraction: (56 / 70) * 100% = (4 / 5) * 100%.
- Converting to decimal: 0.8 * 100% = 80%.
The other options are incorrect as they would result from errors in the division or multiplication steps, or from incorrectly setting up the percentage calculation.
