Percent means out of 100, so put 25.5 over 100 to make a (sort of) fraction.

Then multiply both top and bottom by the same number to make the numerator a whole number.

Finally divide top and bottom by their highest common factor.

That's how to do it, this is it being done:

25.5 % = 25.5/100

= 51/200 (multiply top and bottom by 2)

(hcf(51, 200) = 1, so that's reduced as much as it can be.)
