Answer:

30/100, or 3/10 simplified

Explanation:

To solve, first, change the percentage to a decimal. Move the decimal point to the left two place values, and drop the percentage sign:

30% = 0.30

Next, move the decimal point to the right two place values and set the number over 100

0.30 = 30/100

Using the transitive property, we will know that 30% = 30/100, because 30% = 0.30 = 30/100

To simplify, divide common factors from both the numerator and denominator:

(30/100)/(10/10) = (3/10)
