#5/4#

#125 = 100%+25%#

You should know that #25%=1/4# and so, #100% = 4/4#.

Add them you get #5/4# in this case.

If it were #150%# it'd be #3/2# and so on.

#5/4#

A percent is a value given as a fraction out of #100#

Therefore #125%# can be written as the fraction #125/100#

To change this to its simplest terms, divide the top and bottom by the HCF, which is this case is #25#

#125/100 (div25)/(div25) = 5/4#
