Fraction as a percentage

There are some fractions that are used more frequently than others. For instance, the fractions whose denominator is $100$. These fractions are usually called percentages and they appear very often in our everyday life.

When we use a percentage, $25\mathrm{\%}$, for example, we are using the numerator of a fraction whose denominator is $100$.

In other words, $25\mathrm{\%}$ is equivalent to the fraction ${\displaystyle \frac{25}{100}}$, which is equivalent to ${\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}}$.
