How do you write 750 percent as a fraction or mixed number in lowest terms?

To convert a percentage to a fraction, we write the percentage as a fraction with a denominator of 100, and then simplify.

750% can be written as:

750/100

Now we simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 50:

750 ÷ 50 = 15

100 ÷ 50 = 2

So the fraction is 15/2.

To express this as a mixed number, we perform the division:

15 ÷ 2 = 7 with a remainder of 1

Therefore, the mixed number is 7 1/2.

So, 750% as a fraction in lowest terms is 15/2, and as a mixed number is 7 1/2.
