Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

Write down the percent divided by 100 like this:

25% = 25/100

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:

As 25 is an integer, we don't have numbers after the decimal point. So, we just go to step 3

(or reduce) the above fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) between them. In this case, GCD(25,100) = 25. So,

(25÷25)/(100÷25) = 1/4 when reduced to the simplest
