When given percents containing decimals such as 25.5%, follow a similar procedure.
Change 25.5% to 25.5 / 100.
Now, move the decimal place to the right in the numerator and the denominator until you have rid the fraction of decimals.
Hence 25.5 / 100 becomes
255 / 1000.
Reduced 255 / 1000 = 51 / 200.
Sometimes,
the percents are less than 1…
.7% = .7 / 100 = 7 / 1000
Sometimes the percents are greater than 100…
125% = 125 / 100 = 1 25/100 = 1 1/4
In this case, we turned the percent into an improper fraction, then to a mixed number, then we reduced.
