75% means 75 per cent, or per hundred.
"Per cent" means "per hundred" or "0.01".
This means that 75% is 0.75 in decimal form.
75% as a fraction means 75 per hundred.
Keep in mind that "per" means to divide.
So, let's translate this into parenthesis.
75 (75) per (/) hundred (100).
Rewrite with only the parenthesis.
75 / 100.
This is 75% in fraction form, but isn't simplified. We can divide both numbers by 25.
75 / 25 = 3
100 / 25 = 4
Your simplified fraction is 3/4.

I hope this helps!
