42.5% = 42.5/100 (this is the definition of percent (out of 100)).
However, 42.5/100 is not a very neat fraction.
So multiply the numerator and denomenator by 2:
85/200
Then simplify. There is a common factor of 5 so it is equal to 17/40. 17 is a Prime number so this is the most simplified version of the fraction.

Divide the percent by 100 and then simplify the resulting fraction.
How about: "Referring to 425 as a fraction is nonsense because 425 is an integer, not a fraction."
