It would be 2 93/100.
93/100 can't be simplified any more because 93 and 100 don't share any factors.

Convert the decimal number to a fraction by placing the decimal number over a power of ten. Since there are 2 numbers to the right of the decimal point, place the decimal number over 10^2(100). Next, add the whole number to the left of the decimal.
2+93/100

Simplify.
293/100
