#250%=2.5=25/10=250/100...#

Explanation:

Percent is based on "out of a hundred". In an area such as probability, we often use probabilities in decimals, where #1=100%# chance of occurring. So when you have a multiple of 100%, just think about it in terms of #1#.

So #250%# must be 2.5 as a decimal, but there is likely an infinite number of ways to describe it as a fraction- so I only gave a few.
