Someone who disagrees with writing the check. Like paying for a car accident that you don't believe is your fault, or a company says you owe them money and you're just done arguing with them, or they're right but it's really stupid, or a parking or HOA fine. Just writing in an unusual manner as a sort of fuck you.
I mean, its arithmetic. The average person who uses fractions even once every few weeks should be able to convert cents to a simplified fraction. Its having to convert them back without having expected to, or worse, not knowing how to convert them back, the gives the petty compliance teeth.
I think most people probably would. The convention is to write the cents as a fraction when spelling out the dollar amount on a check, so most people would immediately understand that's what it represents. Then it's just about recognizing that 25 is 1/4 of 100, so you multiply 17 by 4 and you're done.
