Answer

75%

Work Step by Step

In order to write the fraction $\frac{3}{4}$ as a percent, we can set $\frac{3}{4}=\frac{p}{100}$ and solve for p (where $\frac{p}{100}=p$%). We can solve by using cross products. $3\times100=4\times p$ $300=4p$ Divide both sides by 4. $p=75$ Therefore, $\frac{3}{4}=\frac{75}{100}$=75%.
