79/200

Explanation:

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! :)
