Answer:


(17)/(80)

Explanation:

we have


21(1)/(4)\%

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction


21(1)/(4)=21+(1)/(4)=(21*4+1)/(4)=(85)/(4)

so


21(1)/(4)\%=(85)/(4)\%

Convert percent number as a fraction


(85)/(4)\%=(85)/(4):100=(85)/(4*100)=(85)/(400)

Simplify

Divide by 5 both numerator and denominator


(17)/(80)
