Question

    Seventh grade need help all about fractions and percentiges and taxes and fees mark downs mark ups

Answer 1

To calculate a percent, divide the part by the whole and then move the decimal to the right twice.  So:

 

3 divided by 7 = .429 (rounded)

 

So move the decimal in .429 to the right twice to get 42.9%

 

Since they want to round to the nearest percent, this would be 43%
