$\frac{12}{37}$

Explanation:

To convert a decimal percentage into a fraction, first convert it to a decimal:

26.8%=.268

Now, set this as a fraction with 1.0 as the denominator (expanding to as many significant digits as you need to line the fraction up):

$26.8 % = \frac{.268}{1.000} = \frac{268}{1000}$

Now just reduce your fraction!

$\frac{268}{1000} = \frac{134}{500} = \frac{67}{250}$
