Answer: 70.909090909091%
Step-by-step explanation: Reading through the problem we have <em>78 is</em>, that's 78 equals, <em>what percent</em>, x/100, <em>of 110</em>, times 110.
It's important to understand that <em>percent</em> means over 100 so what percent would simply mean <em>x/100</em> or any variable but I will be using x.
So we have the equation 
So cross canceling the 110 and 100 to 11 and 10, we have 
Multiply both sides by 10 to get rid
of the fraction and we have 780 = 11x.
Now divide both sides by 11 and 70.909090909091 = x.
So, 78 is 70.909090909091% of 110.

The <em>correct answer</em> is:
0.09
Explanation:
First off, we can write 0.9 as a fraction. Reading this, we would say "nine tenths"; this means the number in fraction form is 9/10.
The word "of" in mathematics means we multiply. Thus when we take 1/10 "of" 9/10, we multiply the two:
1/10(9/10)
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators:
1/10(9/10) = (1*9)/(10*10) = 9/100
Converting this back to a decimal, we read 9/100 as "nine one-hundredths"; this means decimal form is 0.09.
I am not sure of the correct answer but cross multiply to find which has the bigger number and smallest to put them in order.
