Answer:

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

when solving with percentages, you can “cross multiply”,

we know the fraction would be set up this way:

[tex]\frac{769}{9950}*\frac{x}{100}[/tex]

*there would be an 100 bc a percentage is out of 100*

Now, you have to multiply 769 by 100

[tex]769*100=\\ 76900[/tex]

Then divide by 9950 to get “x”

[tex]79600/9950=\\ 8[/tex]

hope this helps!
