Worth Knowing

Going from a percentage to a fraction reverses the hundredths idea: write the percentage over 100 and reduce, so 40% becomes 40/100 and then 2/5. Percentages with decimals need an extra step — 12.5% is 125/1000, which simplifies to 1/8. The fraction form is often more revealing for exact work, since 1/3 is precise where 33.33% is a rounded approximation that can accumulate error if reused.
