The percentage sign mean that this is number goes over 100. Percent means part of a 100. So to get the fraction put 85 over 100 or 85/100. Then reduce the fraction as low as it will go and the would be 17/20. Hope this helps.

When ever dealing with a percentage, put the percentage (in this case, 85) over 100 as in a fraction: 85/100 and then reduce. 85 and 100 both have 5 in common so divide both numbers by 5 and you get 17/20. Either fraction works since they both come out to be 85%.

85% means 85/100. Then you need to put it in lowets terms. The greatest common factor is 5. So 85/5 = 17 and 100/5 = 20. So 85% in fractions = 17/20
