Answer:

The percent as a mixed number in simplest form is written as \(66\frac{2}{3}\%\).

Step-by-step explanation:

Total reservation for one week is

\(T=5+3+4+7+26+30+9=84\)

The total reservation for Friday or Saturday is

\(R=26+30=56\)

The formula for percentage is

\(P=\frac{\text{total reservation for Friday or Saturday}}{\text{Total reservation for one week}}\times 100\)

\(P=\frac{56}{84}\times 100\)

\(P=\frac{2}{3}\times 100\)

\(P=\frac{200}{3}\)

\(P=66+\frac{2}{3}\)

\(P=66\frac{2}{3}\)

Therefore the percent as a mixed number in simplest form is written as \(66\frac{2}{3}\%\).
