55%
50%

Answer 1

so just take percents of 140 that are given and see which one works. or you could do it as a fraction. 68.60/140

Answer 2

Answer 3

take 68.6/140 and reduce it to smallest form. think about it. what is half of 140 or half of 14

Answer 4

70

Answer 5

ok. so since 50% is 1/2 you know that its either 45% or 50% is closest right? just have to find which one.
so reduce 68.6/140 and you should get 4X% then whatever you get for your second digit will determine which is closer.
