Divide the percentage by 100.
For example, 12% =
12 / 100 = 3 / 25

Change to a fraction that has 100 as a denominator and then cancel if possible.
Examples
70% = 70 / 100 = 7 / 10
60% = 60 / 100 = 3 / 5
55% = 55 / 100 = 11 / 20
Hope these help.

Percent To Fractional Notation

First turn the number into a decimal. Then turn the number into a fraction by putting it over 10, 100, 1000, or whatever number is big enough to have enough zeroes for each place after the decimal.
Example: 18% = .18 = 18/100 = 9/50

Well 17.5% is 17.5 lots out of 100. Hence the perCENTage. Cent meaning 100. So 17.5/100 would be the fraction and 1 55/100 would be the other fraction. Thats also a mixed number by the way.

Place whatever your percentage is over 100 and factor it down to its simplest form.
So say you had a percentage of 75%
75/100 = 15/20 = 3/4
56% = 56/100 = 28/50 = 14/25

Just drop the % cent sign, divide the number by 100, and then reduce. Some examples:
30% = 30/100 = 3/10
47% = 47/100
50% = 50/100 = 5/10 = 1/2

Simply put the percentage number over 100 and simplify.
Example 80%
Becomes 80/100
Or simplified to 8/10 or better still 4/5
Hope this helps

"Percent" means, literally translated, "out of 100."
So any percentage is just some number out of 100.
54% = 54/100
2% = 2/100
33% = 33/100
Make sense?
