A company donated 200 books to a local library. If 70 of them are fiction, what percent of the donated books are fiction? I know the answer is 35%, but how do you find the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The fraction is 70/200. To get this in percent, you need to make the denominator 100. How do you do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i reduce the fraction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

35/100

OpenStudy (anonymous):
