Explanation:

Step 1: Write down the percent divied by 100 like this: percent/100

Step 2: If the percent is not a whole number, then multiple both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point. (for example, if there is on number after the decimal, then use 10, if there are two then use 100, ect.)

Step 3: simplify.(or reduce) the fraction
