Step-by-step explanation: To write a percent as a fraction in lowest terms, remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100.
So here, 28% can be written as the ratio 28 to 100 or 28/100.
Notice however that 28/100 is not in lowest terms so we need to divide both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor of 28 and 100 which is 4.
28 ÷ 4 = 7
100 ÷ 4 = 25
Therefore, 28% can be written as the fraction 7/25.
The fraction is not reduced to lowest terms. We can reduce this fraction to lowest terms by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4. 4 is the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) or Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the numbers 28 and 100.
