Answer:

b) an old-age revolving pension plan

Explanation:

Francis E. Townsend, an American physician, is credited for revolving Old age pension plan during Great Depression of 1930s.

Francis gave a proposal that played an important role in the establishment of President Roosevelt's Social Security system. It came to be known as "Townsend Plan".

According to The Townsend Plan every person who is above 60 years should be given $200/month. He proposed a 2% national sales tax to assist in The Old-Age Revolving Pension fund. It majorly focused on improving the standard of living of retired and old citizens who could not cope up with the economic degradation in America during the Great Depression. A generous insurance plan for the needy received appreciation from Roosevelt and eventually paved way for the pension plan to come into force.

Express 56 1/4% as a fraction, simplest form.
vazorg [7]
I'm assuming the problem is 56 x 1/4%.

1) convert the fraction percent to a decimal number percentage:
1/4% --> 0.25%

2) convert the percent to decimal (to do this, you can move the decimal two numbers to the left OR divide the percent by 100):
0.25% --> 0.0025

3) convert from decimal to fraction (ten thousandths place):
0.0025 --> 25/10000

4) simplify the fraction:
25/10000 (divide top and bottom by 25) = 1/400

5) multiply the whole number times the fraction:
56/400

6) simplify:
(divide top and bottom by 4)
56/400 = 14/100
