Answer the folowing:
A percent is a rate in which the first term is compared to
A. 100
B. itself
C. 1
D. 0

A unit rate is a rate in which the first term is compared to
A. 0
B. 100
C. itself
D. 1

From what we know about percentages and unit rates, the correct options are:

1) 100

2) 1

Suppose we have an amount A, this would be the 100%.

If we want to know how much a quantity B represents, compared to A, we have:

A = 100%

B = x

where x is a percentage, to find the value of x we compute:

x = (B/A)*100%

While there is a dependence on A, we actually are comparing the term with 100 (because A represents a 100%), so the correct option is A: 100.

We define the unit rate as the rate for a unit of something.

for example, if we know that

2 apples cost $3

The unit rate per apple is:

U = $3/2 = $1.5

Meaning that each apple costs $1.5

So to get the unit rate, we need to compare the first term with 1 (a unit). So the correct option is D.
