How do you write 0.85 as a percent?

Answer 1

#color(green)85%#.

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%#.
