Divide it by 100, then reduce it.
1) 85% = 85/100 = 17/20
2) 60% = 60/100 = 6/10 = 3/5
Make sure you understand the concept well. You will be dealing with percentages and fractions for the rest of your life.

1) 85% = 85 reduce this if needed
100
2) 60% = 60 reduce if needed
100
The key is to change the % into 100 (%=100, you see the connection?) and just add the number to the top.

Think of the percent as a fraction for 100. Then simplify.
For example, 45% can be turned into 45/100. You can simplify this fraction by dividing top and bottom by 5 so your final answer would be 9/20.

1.That's 85% over 100% and if you reduce it down into lowest terms, it's 17 over 20 and you can't reduce anymore( it reduces by 5 meaning divine 85 by 5 and 100 by 5 getting 17 and 20).
2.That's 60% over 100% meaning 6% over 10% ( take out the last zeros) and then reduce by 2 giving you 3 over 5 and that's as low as it can go.
