Writing in percentages is actually writing a fraction with 100 on its denominator.

By doing so, we can easily compare data.

For example 1/2 may be written as 50/100 and it is denoted by 50%.

So, in your question, 77% means 77/100.

Since fractions represent ratios, writing in ratio form, we get 77:100. The answer is (b) 77:100
