It's #55/100#, and can be simplified to #11/20#.

Explanation:

In general, #p# percent is equivalent to #p/100#.

So, #55%=55/100=11/20#.

To simplify a fraction, look for the largest number that divides both the numerator and the denominator. That's called the greatest common divisor by the way. In our case, that's #5#. Then, divide both the numerator and denominator by that number, and you have a fully simplified fraction.
