Answer:

25% = 1/4

Explanation:

  • Because a percentage is always out of 100, we can think of the % sign as a divisor.

Therefore, we start with 25/100.

  • The greatest common factor (GCF) of 25 and 100 is 25.

This means that we can further simplify the fraction by diving both the numerator and the denominator by 25:

Simplified fraction = (25 / 25) / (100 / 25)

Simplified fraction = 1/4

Therefore, 25% as a simplified fraction is 1/4.
