Percent literally means per 100, or out of 100. It is a ratio out of 100.
10 percent means 10 out of 100 or 10/100
25% = 25/100

215% = 215/100. Do the division and you'll get 2.15 (that a decimal)

Now let's go back to the fraction, 215/100. this can be reduced by dividing both numerator and denominator by 5: 215/100 = 43/20.
Now divide 43 by 20 using long division. You get 2, remainder 3. That means 215/100 = 2 3/20 as a mixed numeral.
