The given percentage is 1.75%.
To find the decimal expression of this percentage, we just have to divide it by 100. It's important to know that when we divide a number by 100, we just have to move the decimal point two spots to the left, as follows
Therefore, as a decimal is 0.0175.
Now, to find the simplified fraction, we divide the number by 10000, as follows
The reason for dividing by 10000 is that we need to have a whole number in the numerator, so the extra two zeros allow us to get rid of the two of the number. Now, we simplify the fraction dividing each part by 5
Once we get the simplest fraction, we can finish.
Therefore, as a simplified fraction is 7/400.
