Divide the numerator (top number of the fraction) by the denominator (bottom fraction number) then multiple by 100%

If you have 25% then you have to make the fraction 25/100 since percents are always out of 100. Then if you want to reduce that fraction you have to find out what factors those 2 numbers share.
Once you find the biggest factor of those numbers divide both the denominator and the numertor.

25/100 denominator and numerator divided by the same numbers
Divide by 25. You get 1/4

Devide the percentage by 100, then break it down to its smallest denominator. 68% is 68/100 /2 = 34/50 / 2 = 17/25 or abot 2/3

of course some percentages break down easy, some do not. depends on the percentage.

Just divide the number by 100
eg 50%=50/100, =5/10, =1/2
eg 25%=25/100, =5/20, =1/4
etc

Just devide the percentage by 100 and do not devide the numeretor with the denominator
eg:

20%= 20/100
=10/50
=1/5

but leave it up to that the lowest values that can be divisible to each other dont go ahead and devide the two values together just simplify them.

Write down the percent divided by 100
=50/100

___________
NOT A WHOLE NUMBER:
55.5%

Write down the percent divided by 100
=55.5/100

Multiply both top and bottom by 10. (x10 for every number after the decimal point)
=555/1000

_____
Always simplify.

hope that helped.
