Question

How do you write 0.85 as a percent?

Answer 1

`color(green)85%`.

Explanation:

To write 0.85 as a percent, we first need multiply 0.85 by 100. So,

`color(red)0.85 * 100` = `color(blue)85`

Now we can add the % sign. So `color(blue)85` becomes `color(green)85%`.
`color(pink)(................................................................................................)`

Another way to write `color(red)0.85` as a percent, is first converting `color(red)0.85` to a fraction over 100 . So instead of multiplying by 100 it will become,

`0.85 -> 85/100`

Since percentages are numbers/ratios expressed as a fraction of 100, `color(lightblue)(85/100)` becomes `color(green)85%`.
