% means "over 100".
a.)125% = 125/100 = 1.25

b.)580% = 580/100 = 5.8

1. For a percentage over 100%, take the first digit (1 in 125%) (5 in 580%) and make it the whole number.
1 ____________________ 5
2. Take the last two digits and make them the fractions (25/100 in 125%) (80/100 in 580%).
1 25/100 _____________ 5 80/100
3. Reduce the fractions (25/100 is 1/4) (80/100 is 4/5)
1 1/4 ____________ 5 4/5
