You need to remember that "percent" and " % " both mean " / 100 " .

When you see, let's say, "35 percent" or "35 %", it means " 35 / 100 ".

Bam ! There's your fraction. If it can be simplified, and if you
feel like it, you can go ahead and simplify it.

35 / 100 = 7 / 20 .

To change a fraction to a percent, treat it like a division problem. For example, to make 1/4 a percent, divide the numerator by the denominator. 1 ÷ 4 = 0.25.

Next, move the decimal point two places to the right. That changed 0.25 to 25, and just add the percent symbol. 25%

AND BAM! You've got yourself a fraction changed to a percent. 1/4 = 25%
