For each comparison, write the corresponding percent. a. 7 out of 100 b. 76 out of 100 c. 430 compared to 100 d. 600 compared to 100

Weegy: a. 7 out of 100 = 7%. 7 x 100 = 700; 700/100 = 7. b. 76 out of 100 = 76%. 76 x 100 = 7600; 7600/100 = 76. c. 430 compared to 100 = 430%. 430 x 100 = 43000; 43000/100 = 430. d. 600 compared to 100 = 600%. (More)
