When you want to turn percentages back into fractions, it can be easier than you think. Here’s a simple way to do it:

1. Know What a Percentage Means: A percentage is just a part out of 100. For example, if you see 25%, you can think of it as 25 out of 100. This is the first step to turning it into a fraction.

2. Write It as a Fraction: To make a fraction from the percentage, put the percentage number over 100. So, for 25%, you would write it like this:

   $$\frac{25}{100}$$

3. Make It Simpler: This next step is super important! You can often simplify fractions. To do this, find the biggest number that can evenly divide both the top number (the numerator) and the bottom number (the denominator). For $\frac{25}{100}$, both 25 and 100 can be divided by 25:

   $$\frac{25 \div 25}{100 \div 25} = \frac{1}{4}$$

   So, 25% as a fraction becomes $\frac{1}{4}$.

4. Check Your Work: Always make sure your final fraction is correct. You can change it back to a percentage to see if it’s right. For example, $\frac{1}{4}$ means 1 part out of 4, which is the same as 25% when you calculate it back.

5. Practice More: The best way to get good at this is to practice! Try converting other percentages. For example, with 50%, you would start with $\frac{50}{100} = \frac{1}{2}$. For 75%, you’d do $\frac{75}{100} = \frac{3}{4}$.

With these easy steps, turning percentages into fractions can become really simple. Just remember to keep simplifying and check your work. Soon, you’ll feel confident solving these types of problems!
