Answer:

0.39

Explanation:

39% can be written as 39.% to emphasize that the decimal is to the right of the last digit in a whole number. When converting from percent to decimal, you divide by 100 which has the same effect as moving the decimal two places to the left. Therefore, 39.% becomes 0.39.
