MCQ - 51-1429

Correct Answer: E

Explanation:

We can solve this problem either by adding the two fractions and then converting to a percentage or by converting each fraction to a percentage before adding them. We'll use the first method in this case:

${\displaystyle \frac{2}{5}+\frac{13}{15}=\frac{6}{15}+\frac{13}{15}=\frac{19}{15}}$

Now, just as before, multiply our numerator by 100 and solve the fraction:

${\displaystyle \frac{19}{15}=\left(\frac{1900}{15}\right)\mathrm{\%<!--\; \%\; -->}\approx <!--\; \approx \; -->127\mathrm{\%<!--\; \%\; -->}}$
