^^^^  they are correct, you can just simply put the percent over 100 to get your fraction and for a decimal all you have to do is move it over 2 places to the left :)

The symbol % is called "percent".
The word "percent" literally means "per 100", or "divided by 100".
That means any percent can be changed to a fraction by simply setting it as a fraction over 100.
Any percent can changed into a decimal by simply dividing it by 100.
Dividing by 100 is just moving the decimal point two places to the left.

Examples:

Percent           Fraction             Decimal     
10%       =       10/100     =     0.10
25%       =       25/100     =     0.25
78%       =       78/100     =     0.78
300%     =     300/100     =     3
