Explain how you could write 35% as the sum of two benchmark percents or as a multiple of a percent.
Best Answer : you would have to divide 35 with the place value it is in. For example :
35% ; 35/100 and then you divide which is 0.35, that is your answer. As a fraction 0.35 is really 7/20.
Possible correct answers are:
20%+15%; and 50% of 70%.
Explanation:
Benchmark percents are percents that are commonly used. 20% and 15% are two commonly used percentages; the sum of them would be
20%+15% = 35%.
A multiple of a percent is a percent of a percent. Taking 50% of 70% of a number is the same as multiplying by 0.5(0.7) = 0.35.
