Calculation:
Method used:
To convert into fractions we remove % sign from each percent and divide by 100. Then simplify the fraction wherever possible.
The given percents are
25%, 50%, 75%, 100%
Let them convert these into fractions and check whether any pattern is there.
25%,50%,75%,100%
=25100,50100,75100,100100
Simplify the fractions to get
=14,12,34,1
We find that there is a pattern such that
The first term starts with 14 and next term is obtained by adding 14 to the previous term.
i.e. an arithmetic sequence with common difference 14
