Percent means "out of 100", so to convert a percentage to a fraction, put it over 100 and simplify.

Examples:

  • 5% as a fraction
15% = 15/100

= 3/20 (divide top and bottom by 5)

  • 37.5% as a fraction
37.5% = 37.5/100

= 75/200 (multiply top and bottom by 2)

= 3/8 (divide top and bottom by 25)
