For this question, we can look at an everyday example. I'm driving at 60km per hour.

This means i am driving 60km every hour. Or, 60km over 1 hour (per=ontop of or over).

So we can think of per-cent as per=over and cent=100. Century is 100 years.

--Cent is latin for 100.

So to answer your question 81 percent to a fraction, would have to be 81 (per) over 100.

81/100 = 0.81 = 81%

we divide by 100.
