$p\%=(p)/(100)\\\\8.5\%=(8.5)/(100)=(8.5\cdot10)/(100\cdot10)=\boxed{(85)/(1000)}=(85:5)/(1000:5)=\boxed{(17)/(200)}$

Well, to start off you divide 8.5 by 100, this gives you 0.085.

This, when multiplied by 1000 to make it a whole number equals
(85)/(1000)

When simplified this will equal
(17)/(200)
