Answer:

[tex]138\frac{8}{9}\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out the corresponding setting to obtain the original from the copy, divide 100% by 72%

so

[tex]\frac{100}{72}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]\frac{100}{72}=\frac{25}{18}[/tex]

Convert to percentage

[tex]\frac{25}{18}(100)=\frac{2,500}{18}\%[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]\frac{2,500}{18}\%=\frac{1,250}{9}\%[/tex]

Convert to mixed number

[tex]\frac{1,250}{9}\%=\frac{1,242}{9}+\frac{8}{9}=138\frac{8}{9}\%[/tex]
