From the problem, we have 3.25% to convert into fraction.
Note that percentage a% can be written as a/100
So 3.25% will be :
[tex]3.25\%=\frac{3.25}{100}[/tex]From here, we can multiply the numerator and the denominator by 100 to make 3.25 a whole number.
[tex]\frac{3.25\times100}{100\times100}=\frac{325}{10000}[/tex]Next step is to simplify the fraction by getting the factors of the numerator and the denominator.
325 = 25 x 13
10000 = 25 x 400
Rewriting it again :
[tex]\frac{325}{10000}=\frac{25\times13}{25\times400}[/tex]Cancel the common factor (25)
[tex]\frac{\cancel{25}\times13}{\cancel{25}\times400}=\frac{13}{400}[/tex]The answer is 13/400
