Answer: 1.777

Step-by-step explanation: To write a percent as a decimal, first remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100.

We can think of 177.7% as the ratio 177.7 to 100 or 177 divided by 100. Remember that dividing by 100 moves the decimal point two places to the left so 177.7 divided by 100 would move the decimal point two places to the left which would give us 1.777 which will be our final answer.

Therefore, 177.7% is equivalent to the decimal 1.777.
