Hello, allie!

WAIT! . . .

Write 4 1/4 as a percent.

If we write \(\displaystyle 1\) as a percent, we get: .\(\displaystyle 100\%\)

If we write \(\displaystyle 2\) as a percent, we get: .\(\displaystyle 200\%\)

Therefore, if we write \(\displaystyle 4\!\tfrac{1}{4}\) as a percent, we get: .\(\displaystyle 425\%\)
