\frac{10}{7} = \frac{70}{49} = \frac{140}{98} > \frac{140}{100} = 1.4
So the answer must be almost 40%, but a little bit more.
Answer: 42%Lesson: Whenever there's a 7 in the denominator and you're dealing with percentages, it's practical to convert 7 into 49, and then 49 into 98, eventually rounding it up to 100 for simplicity. However, remember to compare your results to determine if the final answer will be slightly higher or lower than your approximation.
