#79/200#

Convert the percentage into a fraction of 100:

#39.5%=39.5/100#

Multiply the both fraction by ten, so that the decimal is gone:

#(39.5*10)/(100*10) = 395/1000#

Then simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 5:

#395#/#5# = #79#
#1000#/#5# = #200#

So at the end we got : #79/200#

Hope this helps! :)
