How do you write \( \mathbf{2 5 \%} \) as a fraction?

To convert \( 25\% \) to a fraction, start by remembering that percent means "per hundred." So, you can express \( 25\% \) as \( \frac{25}{100} \). Simplifying this fraction gives you \( \frac{1}{4} \) because both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by 25. Next, since you want to represent \( 2 5\% \), we combine the whole number 2 with the fraction we've just found. Thus, \( 2 5\% \) can be written as \( 2 + \frac{1}{4} \), which converts to \( \frac{8}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{4} \) when put together. So, \( 2 5\% \) as a fraction is \( \frac{9}{4} \).
