Remember that "percent" means "out of 100", so 145% means 145 out of 100 or, writtens as a fraction, this is 145%2F100
But this is an improper fraction and it can be simplified.
145%2F100+=+%28100%2B45%29%2F100 = 100%2F100+%2B+45%2F100+=+1+%2B+45%2F100 and 45%2F100 can be reduced to 9%2F20 by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 5.
So, you end up with:
145% = 1 9/20 That's one and nine twentieths.

Percent means per hundred or for every hundred. When you say 145 percent, it means 145 for every hundred. i.e. 145 over 100. Then
145%2F100 becomes a fraction. You will have to simplify this fraction. So 145%2F100 = 29%2F20. This is in the mode of fraction. But it is an improper fraction. We shall make it a mixed number i.e. 19%2F20. That's all. So whenever you want to convert percent to fraction, write the percent as numerator and 100 as denominator and simplify the arrived fraction.
