To change this percentage to fractions, we can proceed as follows. We can transform this percentage into its decimal form:


75.25\Rightarrow0.7525

Then, we have that this decimal is in its fraction form as follows:


(7525)/(10000)

And now, we need to reduce this fraction to the lowest terms. To do this, we need to find the GCF (the greatest common factor between both numbers). And this number is 25.

If we divide the numerator and the denominator by this number, we obtain:


(7525)/(25)=301,(10000)/(25)=400

Therefore, the fraction in its lowest terms is:


(301)/(400)\Rightarrow0.7525\Rightarrow75.25

The answer is 301/400.
