Hint: Percentage refers to ‘out of one hundred’. It is a number used to denote a fraction of 100. It is expressed by a % sign. Whereas, a fraction is a number that denotes a part of a whole or a collection. It shows how much or into how many parts is a whole thing divided.
To convert a percentage into a fraction, we will divide the percent by 100. If the percent is a whole number, we will just simplify the fraction. But if the percent is not a whole number, we will multiply both the numerator and denominator with 1 followed by as many zeroes as there are numbers after the decimal point in the percent.

Complete step by step solution:
Given percent is 95%
Now, we will divide 95 by 100
95100
Since 95 is a whole number, therefore we will just simplify the fraction obtained.
For simplifying, we will find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 95 and 100.
GCD(95,100)=5
We will now divide both the numerator and denominator (95 and 100) by 5.
9551005=1920

Hence, 95% can be written in fraction as 1920.

Note: The Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) or the Greatest Common Factor, of two numbers is the largest number that divides them both. The GCD of two numbers a and b is denoted as GCD(a,b).
