Express the following as per cent.
(a) $ \frac{19}{5} $
(b) $ \frac{27}{2} $
(c) $ \frac{96}{8} $

Given:

(a) \( \frac{19}{5} \)
(b) \( \frac{27}{2} \)
(c) \( \frac{96}{8} \)

To do:

We have to express the given fractions in percentage terms.
Solution:
To express a given number as a per cent, we multiply it by 100.

Therefore,

(a)  \( \frac{19}{5} \) in per cent is,

$\frac{19}{5}\times100 \%=19\times20 \%$

$=380 \%$.

(b)  \( \frac{27}{2} \) in per cent is,

$\frac{27}{2}\times100 \%=27\times50 \%$

$=1350 \%$.

(c)  \( \frac{96}{8} \) in per cent is,

$\frac{96}{8}\times100 \%=12\times100 \%$

$=1200 \%$.
